Baumstein Three-Outs One

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player opened to 425 and Scott Baumstein three-bet to 850. The raised pushed all in with his short stack, and Baumstein called.

Baumstein: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Baumstein flopped the deadening pair: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The {4-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river did nothing to help Baumstein's opponent, and he was forced to send his stack over to Baumstein.

Cajelais Trying to Reach $3 Million

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Erik Cajelais just won a pot before the break when he bet 425 on the turn on a board of {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Spades} and was called by the big blind. Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} river, and Cajelais showed {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to outkick his opponent's {8-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Cajelais, a Quebec native, is just $100,000 away from reaching $3 million in career live cashes. It'll take a deep run in this tournament to get there, but he's certainly capable.

I Sense Sarcasm

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Dominik Nitsche has his stack up close to 20,000 in chips as the fourth level comes to a close.

"I got aces… a lot," he told the PokerNews Live Reporting Team. "Like four or five times… I only play premiums."

Having just sat down after being moved in from Pavilion, Randal Flowers then chimed in.

"I've only ever seen you lay down premiums," he said.

"Yeah," added Nitsche. "You've got to make 'em pay."

Pavilion Popping

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

With the rather skinny 3,000-chip starting stack in this event, it's no surprise to see a lot of early casualties.

And with players exiting the event every minute or so around the room, the speed at which they are breaking tables back in the Pavilion Room has increased immensely.

They'll eventually move all these bracelet hunters into Brasilia to finish off the night, but for now, just ten from what was more than 60 tables remain playing across the hall.

The Heater

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

WSOP Bracelet Winner James Dempsey has found himself on a bit of a heater to start the day here.

The Brit told the PokerNews live reporting team he found aces and flopped a set in the early levels to push up close to 20k already.
