Baumann Gets her Chips Back

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

According to the table, Gaelle Baumann doubled up after having lost half of her chips at the beginning of the day.

A first player limped and it folded to Baumann on the button who raised it to 800 with {a-}{a-}. The big blind and the initial player both called.

The flop appeared {q-}{4-}{4-} rainbow and the big blind led out for 1,700. Baumann called after the third player folded and a {7-} showed up on the turn. This time Baumann called another bet for 2,000.

The river fell a {8-} and the big blind fired 6,000 before calling the all-in raise from Baumann worth 8,000. The big blind tabled {9-}{9-} and Bauman grabbed the pot with aces.

Oskooi is Here to Make Friends

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Shirin Oskooi, the previous contestant from Survivor: Worlds Apart and Survivor: Cambodia took a seat in the Ladies Event and grabbed some chips.

The board read {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} in a head's up situation when the player in the small blind checked before calling a bet worth 1,500 from Oskooi on the button.

A {9-Clubs} fell on the river and this time both players checked. Ooskoi tuned over {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair and the winning hand. "Why didn't you bet on the river?" asked her opponent, "Oh I'm here to make friends!" replied Oskooi jokingly while adding the chips to her stack.

Two Fist Pumps for May After Losing Hand

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Heidi May (2017 Ladies Event Champion)
Heidi May (2017 Ladies Event Champion)

Heidi May and Lisa Costello were laughing about something that had happened earlier during the 100/200 level and they were kind enough to relay what had happened.

May had opened from under the gun and Teresa Thaxton shoved from the button for around 5,500 which May called.

Teresa Thaxton: {a-Diamonds}{q-}
Heidi May: {a-Hearts}{q-}

Apparently, Thaxton shouted for all red cards even though May had the {a-Hearts}.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for Thaxton to flop a flush and straight flush draw.

The turn bricked but the river was a {5-Diamonds} to give Thaxton the straight flush indeed.

Thaxton was so excited she fist-pumped May, asked her for a photo, celebrated a bit more, and then fist-pumped May again. Unfortunately for Thaxton, she lost the doubled-up chips shortly after and her seat was taken by Jessica Dawley.

Difficult Fold for Bicknell

On a board {8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, with a pot already containing more than 25,000, Kristen Bicknell's opponent bet 15,000, putting her into a big decision.

"I hate that spot," said Bicknell, adding "I don't think you're bluffing here, I think you're maybe valuing worst". After a few minutes, Bicknell asked "You show me if I fold?" and ended up folding her cards. Her opponent mucked her hand while Bicknell said with a smile "Show one! Nothing?Ok".
