Bad Beat for Baumann

Level 9 : 300/600, 100 ante
Gazelle Baumann
Gazelle Baumann

Gaelle Baumann under the gun opened to 1,400, the player in the big blind called.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Baumann continued for 1,800, her opponent instantly shoved all in and Baumann snap-called.

Baumann: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for trips
Her opponent: {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for top pair

The {6-Spades} and the {q-Diamonds} river turned Baumann's opponent's hand into a full house and she slipped down to 5,300

Baumann Doubles Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 100 ante
Gaelle Baumann
Gaelle Baumann

A player opened in middle position and the button player called. Gaelle Baumann, on the big blind, pushed all in for 10,200 and both players made the call.

{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} fell on the flop and the initial raiser bet 11,000. The button player let it go.

Gaelle Baumann: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Her opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The {a-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river didn't change anything and Baumann's flopped set earned the pot and the double up.

Kural Wins Big Pot

Level 9 : 300/600, 100 ante

Nuri Kural won a big when he got involved in a three-way all-in. He got all his chips in the middle with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, but he wasn't the favorite to win the hand against {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop brought Kural two extra outs when the dealer spread out {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Kural hit one of his outs when the turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river was the {7-Clubs} to Give Koral the 50,000 pot where he busted one player and left another short stacked.
