Baumann Back in Front

No sooner than Monica Hinojosa had grabbed the chip lead from Gaelle Baumann, it appears Baumann has snared it right back.

Baumann and Debbie Pechac, a couple of big stacks sitting side-by-side, together saw a flop of {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} from middle position. Baumann led for 2,200, Pechac raised to 5,000, Baumann then made it 11,200, and Pechac called.

Baumann kept firing after the {7-Hearts} turn, and Pechac called again. The river brought the {3-Hearts} and an all-in shove from Baumann, and after some thought Pechac let it go.

Baumann surges up over 100,000 on that one, the first player to reach that milestone.

Martin Out

We've already lost a couple of those players competing in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Challenge, the latest being Marie Martin who began the day with a short stack.

All in with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} versus an opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, the board ran out {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Martin joins the parade to the cashier's desk.

Lundholm Coming Up Aces

Ida Lundholm
Ida Lundholm

Donna Houle — one of those still alive in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Standing challenge — opened with a raise to 2,600 from middle position, and it folded to Ida Lundholm who made it 5,500 to go from the button. It then folded to the player in the small blind who pushed all in for 6,500 total, and both Houle and Lundholm called.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}. Houle checked, and when Lundholm began to push out a bet, Houle quickly folded. Lundholm turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} for the overpair, her opponent showed {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and after the {6-Clubs} turn and {J-Hearts} river, another player had hit the rail while Lundholm picked up a few chips.

Grant Gone

Sarah Grant
Sarah Grant

Sarah Grant has been eliminated, which means yet another of those participating in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Standing challenge has been eliminated.

In her last hand, Grant was playing from the big blind, having found herself up against Janet Howard playing from late position. The pair saw a flop come {8-Spades}{K-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and Grant checked. Howard bet 5,000, then Grant check-raised to 12,000, and Howard called.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and an all-in shove from Grant for 9,000 that Howard called. Howard tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top pair of kings, Grant showed {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and after the {J-Hearts} fell on the turn Grant was eliminated in 86th place.

It sounded like Grant might've misread her hand at some point, thinking she had pocket tens. In any case, we'll probably be learning more about her experience, perhaps in a PokerNews video.

After all, even if she didn't win the Onnit last longer, she did win the one among the ladies of PokerNews while earning her first ever WSOP cash!

Houle Out

A player raised to 2,700 from middle position, another called, then Donna Houle pushed all in from the hijack seat for 14,900 total, with the original raiser her only caller.

Houle had {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and needed help versus her opponent's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, but the community cards came {3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Houle is out.

Big Slick Brings Chips for Boutros

Lara Boutros opened for 2,500 from under the gun and got one caller from middle position. It folded around to the player in the small blind who reraised all in for 9,600, Boutros called, and the player in the middle got out.

Boutros had {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and her opponent {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and when the board rolled out {8-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Spades}, another player was eliminated as Boutros added more to her stack.
