Baker Toast; Final Table Set...

The player bubbled from the final table is none other than Philip Baker. He'd been patient all day, winning a few key pots though not as involved as much as some of the others.

He found what looked like a good spot to get his stack in. From the button, Lee Brooke-Pearce raised to 65,000 preflop, and Baker moved in over the top for around 180,000. This was snap-called by Brooke-Pearce, as he had {A-Spades}

. Although he hit one queen on the flop, Baker's {A-Diamonds}

was ultimately no match for that pocket pair.

Cries of, "Unlucky!" followed the jovial player to the cash desk. The rest of final eight await the bright lights, cameras, and the glory and potential to take the title tomorrow.
