Katie Wier

Matt Giametta raised from early position to 100,000 and Scott Baumstein called from the hijack. Katie Wier moved all in on the button for 255,000 and action folded back to Giametta.

Giametta thought for a few moments, made it 300,000 and Baumstein immediately moved all in for 2,190,000 and Giametta called.

All three hands were exposed with a massive chip lead up for grabs between Giametta and Baumstein.

Giametta: QsQh
Baumstein: AcKc
Wier: 10d10s.

The flop was 8s6s4h, keeping Giametta in the lead with a pair of queens. The 4c was a safe turn card for Giametta, but the As came on the river and sent both the main and the side pot to Baumstein, while eliminating Wier in ninth place for $10,800.

Baumstein dragged the pot and took an overwhelming chip lead.

Scott Baumstein – 4,790,000
Matt Giametta – 300,000
Katie Wier – Eliminated
