Baumstein Pushes In

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Scott Baumstein was facing a bet of 5,900 on a board of {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Baumstein took about a minute and then pushed his entire stack into the pot. This was met by a quick fold by Baumstein's opponent. The pot was quite big indeed and Baumstein was glad to take it down as he increased his stack up to 43,000.

Tournament Loses Three Stars

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The waters of Event #49 are a little less shark infested thanks to the recent bust outs of three big names.

Andrey Pateychuk, double WSOP bracelet winner James Dempsey and the ever-dangerous Joseph Cheong have each lost their chips and have exited the Brasilia Room. While their exits are bad news for the neutrals at home, they spell great news to the players still in the tournament because it means there are less established pros standing between them and the $546,080 first place prize.

Duckworth Doubles

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Tim Duckworth is back in business after coming from behind to secure a double up.

We caught Duckworth all in for 9,000 with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and facing the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} of his opponent, who covered him. Duckworth took the lead on the {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop and his hand stayed best when the turn and river fell {3-Spades} and {2-Clubs}.

Quads Get Knockout After a River Switch

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The floor was called over as Bryan Buonocore and his opponent were playing on the board of {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and they were also seeing the {5-Hearts} on the river.

The reason the floor was called over was because Bounocore's opponent never checked on the turn. What had happened was on the turn the dealer only saw Bouncore check and never saw that the opponent never checked. The floor ruled that the {5-Hearts} was going to be brought back and Bounocore's opponent had action back on the turn.

The opponent elected to check and Bouncore also checked.

The new river was the {10-Hearts}. Bounocore's opponent then bet out 5,000. This got Bounocore to push all in and the opponent called. Bounocore showed {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for quad jacks! His opponent had to muck but not before showing that he had {a-}{q-}. That meant the new river gave the opponent the nut straight. If he would have just gone along and checked right away or the dealer didn't miss the action on the turn then Bounocore would not have doubled with quads and his opponent would not have busted.

It was all good for Bounocore as he loved the river to give himself a near double and move up to 28,000 after the crazy hand.

Waking Up With Aces in the Short Stack

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Nicolas Vaca-Rodon was all in as a short stack. Fortunately for him he was holding {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} and got called by his opponents {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} and with that Vaca-Rondon got the double. It must be nice to wake up with aces when short stacked and with that Vaca-Rondon went up to 22,000.
