Baumstein Climbing

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Scott Baumstein
Scott Baumstein

There was a pile of about 80,000 chips in the middle and the board read {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} when we got to the table. A player informed PokerNews that Baumstein had opened the button, the big blind had called, there was a bet and call on the flop, and both players checked the turn.

On the river, the big blind had checked, Baumstein bet, and the big blind check-raised, putting Baumstein to a decision for 56,100. He went into the tank and the clock was eventually called. Before tournament staff arrived at the table to begin the countdown, Baumstein called. The big blind tabled {4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Baumstein rolled over {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to take the pot with trip sixes.

The small blind led out with a bet of 7,000 and Pahuja called. The river was the {4-Clubs} and both players knuckled the felt. Pahuja showed {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for fours full of sevens and scooped the pot.

Massey Rivers Trips to Double Up

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Ralph Massey
Ralph Massey

Ralph Massey raised to 7,000 from under the gun and the player on the button called. They went heads up to the {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and Massey continued with a bet of 10,000. His opponent called and the turn was the {10-Diamonds}.

Massey moved all in for 68,300, sending his opponent deep into the tank. The player began talking through the hand: "Ace-jack or maybe you have ace-king," he said quietly. He eventually made the call, turning over {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top pair and Massey showed {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for middle pair and the nut flush draw.

The {10-Diamonds} hit the river and Massey improved to trip tens to double up.

Rogowski Doubles Through Nahum

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The player in the cutoff raised and Andy Rogowski reraised from the small blind. With the action on Kfir Nahum in the big blind, he moved all in, covering both players. The cutoff folded and Rogowski snap-called for his last 103,700.

Nahum showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} but was dominated by the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Rogowski. The board ran out clean for Rogowski with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and he let out a fist pump on the river as he doubled through Nahum.

Jaka Felted

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Faraz Jaka
Faraz Jaka

Matthias Eibinger raised to 6,500 from under the gun and Faraz Jaka three-bet shoved from the big blind for 49,200. After some consideration, Eibinger called to put Jaka at risk.

Matthias Eibinger: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Faraz Jaka: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Jaka was racing for his tournament life and needed to improve in order to double up. The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Spades}, which paired Jaka's ace but also gave Eibinger a set of fives, so Eibinger took the pot to send Jaka to the cage.
