Can Anyone Stop Bauer?

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Leandro Csome has been running neck and neck with Joao Bauer for a few hours but it looks like Bauer is starting to pull away. Bauer is up to 1,170,000 after eliminating a short stack in a hand that played more rapidly than one would expect. Sitting in the big blind, Bauer called his opponent's pre-flop raise to 24,000, then checked a {5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop. His opponent bet 25,000, prompting Bauer to quickly announce, "All in."

"OK," said his opponent, without much thought. He opened {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks; Bauer showed {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for kings and fives. The turn and river were both 7s, {7-Clubs} and {7-Hearts}, but that didn't stop the pot from being pushed to Bauer with kings and sevens.
