Basebaldy Knocks One Out

A player in early position opened to 7,000 before a shorty moved all in for 44,800 a couple seats over. Next to him, Eric "Basebaldy" Baldwin took a couple moments to consider before reraising all in to put the decision back on the early-position player.

"You have, like, heaps, don't you?" he asked.

Baldwin chuckled and eyeballed his stack. "I have about 190."

With that, the other player folded, and the short stack was heads up and racing for his tournament life:

Shorty: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Baldwin: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Baldwin wished his opponent luck, but the dealer was having none of it. The {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {7-Spades} flop put the all-in player in a big hole, and the turn {K-Diamonds} left him drawing dead. The river {9-Diamonds} was the last card he'll see today, and that knockout put moves Baldwin up over 240,000.
