In July our ProTeam player Lukas “ChilledOne” Bäumer of Germany won another Live European tournament.
This time it was a €200 Omaha HI tournament with rebuys on the CAPT
( Casino of Austria Tour) at Casino Velden. There were 110 entrants in
the tourney who collectively made 160 rebuy’s and 101 add-on’s to
create a prizepoolof €72.390 and a first prize of €20.270

Here is Lukas own story regarding the tourney:

    I had 3 big key hands in the tourney after the rebuy period. First my
KK98ss held up in a 3way all-in against Q764 and some AQJT where
I was shortstacked.

   
Later with about 40 of the 110 left I had AA23ss in the BB with blinds
1k/2k. The BTN open limps with like 28k total in his stack, and the
SB completes. I pot it to 8k and both call! Kind of weird.

    The flop is 3c4c5s, I have the weak straight but no flush draw. SB
checks, I check because I don’t really want to valuebet there, I’d
rather see what happens if BTN bets. BTN then shipped for about pot
and SB folded, and I felt like he wouldn’t ship 67 there by the way
he played before and only maybe 26 so I called and he turned over
47xx for a bare gutshot and my hand held up.

    The 3rd one was on the Final table. The CO who I just heard had
2 FTs already that week opened with a decent stack. I assumed
he understood MTT concepts and figured he will fold lots to a 3bet
(most people folded anything but AAxx, pretty weird!)
So I 3bet with my bad backup hand A7sJ3h.

    Surprisingly he calls with only one potbet behind and the flop is
Kxx all hearts. He pushes into me.I told him I don’t think he would
push a flush into me and most likely has KKxx and called with my
3rd nuts.He turned over KKxx and I dodged any pairing on the turn
and river so my “holding skills”pushed me into the chiplead.
From there it was uneventful till we were only 6handed.
And because of the shallow stacks (I had 21BBs as the Chipleader
while the shortstack had about 10BBs), we chopped 6-ways.

    Aswell I had a bad seatdraw for the final table with Fulltilt Pro
and double Omaha WSOP bracelet winner Eddy Scharf from
Germany to my left, so I was quite pleased with dealing aswell,
since he really was in control of the Finaltable and only was
shorter stacked because he had already lost four decent
Allins where he was a huge favorite everytime when the money
went in and being out of position against him was tough to play.

Team Potraiser congratulates Lukas on yet another success.
This one being his first big live win in an Omaha event.
