Fabian Gumz

Nang Quang Nguyen opened to 800,000 on the button. The two shortest stacks were sitting in the blinds and Fabian Gumz was next to act. He used a time bank before calling off his remaining 235,000 in the small blind, putting himself at risk of elimination.

Fabian Gumz: Q J

Nang Quang Nguyen: T 8

Gumz held on the A 5 6 7 3 runout with very little sweat but it didn't take him long to be at risk again.

A few hands later Gumz open-jammed for his newly built 570,000 and got a single call from Nevan Chang in the big blind.

Fabian Gumz: A J

Nevan Chang: A Q

This time he was behind when the cards were flipped, and there was no coming back for Gumz after the T 4 2 6 A flop came as Chang won the hand with the queen kicker.
