Baker Two-Outs His Way To The Chip Lead

Jason Baker

Jason Baker called on the button and Sean Drake popped it to 140,000 from the big blind.

Baker called and a {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop followed. Drake bet 145,000, but saw his bet quickly raised to 345,000 by Baker. That was fine with Drake who re-raised all in. After about 90 seconds and with 365,000 behind, Baker called all in and tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

Drake was dominating with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, but the {7-Diamonds} turn changed everything and put Baker way out in front. The {5-Diamonds} river was no help to Drake and he is now the one down about 2:1 in chips.
