Baumgartner Puts Laufer in a Tough Spot
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Itai Laufer raised on the button to 8,000, finding one caller in Pascal Baumgartner, in the big blind.
The flop of 10?3?4? checked through to the 8? on the turn. Baumgartner committed a third of his stack with a bet of 10,000, putting Laufer into a tough spot.
After some time in the tank, Laufer looked pained as he mucked his cards.
"I think I'm ahead" announced Baumgartner as he showed 10?9? to the table.
