Battle to be table and tournament captain

[user154502]

Jacob Baumgartner has just been moved two seats to the right of Jose Barbero and between them they have almost 400,000 chips. That's quite a lot considering that the average stack is about 66,000 at the moment. Barbero opens the betting on the first hand Baumgartner is dealt into to 4,600 and is called in three spots, which includs Baumgartner. The {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {a-Clubs} flop is checked all the way round but when the {4-Diamonds} turn is checked to Baumgartner as the last player to act he places a 14,000 that takes the pot unopposed putting the American online qualifier up to nearly 200,000. A monster pot between these two would give either of them a terrifying chip lead.
