Baumgartner Takes From Winter

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jacob Baumgartner raised to 30,000 and Sean Winter called in the big blind. On a flop of K♣3♥2♣, Winter check-raised from 30,000 to 85,000 and Baumgartner stuck around.

Winter checked the A♣ turn before calling a bet worth 85,000 and then checked the K♦ river once more. Baumgartner fired a bet of 200,000 and Winter used multiple time banks before folding.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 25,000 from the hijack and found one caller in Gus Hansen in the big blind.

Both players checked on the A♣5♣3♥ flop and then Hansen led out for 24,000 after the 8♦ fell on the turn.

Bedell cut out a raise to 75,000 and placed it into the middle, which got a shrug and a fold from Hansen to send the pot Bedell's way.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tomer Daniel raised to 22,000 from middle position and was called by Nick Schulman in the small blind and Tom-Aksel Bedell in the big blind.

Action checked through on the 3♦3♥6♠ flop and then Schulman led out for 28,000 on the 5♦ turn. Bedell folded and Daniel called.

Both players checked on the 9♦ river and Schulman announced, "Aces," as he tabled A♠A♥J♣4♠. Daniel showed he held K♣K♥ and mucked — conceding the pot to Schulman.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The hot run of Elie Nakache was cooled down in a big pot and his cards were just mucked while he was busy paying off a large double to Shaun Deeb.

"You might be running good in the 10k, but I run good in this one," Deeb said.

According to Deeb, it was a three-way pot on which they got it in after the J♥J♣2♥ flop with Kahle Burns getting out of the way. Nakache had the 3x3x2x2x for a full house while Deeb revealed the Q♦J♦8♥5♥. The J♠ turn gave Deeb quads to seal up the double and make the K♣ river a formality.

Shaun Deeb	1,650,000 880,000	880,000

On the river of a 7♣7♥6♠J♣2♦ board, Michael Moncek bet 115,000 out of the small blind. Marcello Del Grosso was in the tank and tossed out a time bank extension before he eventually made the call.

Moncek tabled the A♠A♦Q♣3♣ and that won the pot.

"I thought you were aggressive, but you just have aces all the time," Gjergj Sinishtaj joked.

"Both things can be true," Moncek said with a smirk on the face while raking in the pot.
