Bauer Drills River to Stave Off Elimination

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Erik Bauer shoved for his last 65,000 and was called by Joao Mestre to be put at risk.

Erik Bauer: A♣10♣
Joao Mestre: K♣Q♠

Bauer held the lead and kept it on the J♠10♦3♠ flop, but the Q♦ turn paired Mestre's queen and Bauer began to get up from his seat.

Fortunes quickly turned, however, as the K♦ river gave Bauer a Broadway straight for the double up.

"Vamos! Let's go!" Bauer celebrated as he collected the pot.
