Internet Genius

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

James Obst raised to 3,000 and David "Bakes" Baker called. Phil Laak called from the small blind and Masa Kagawa called from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and everyone checked to see the {3-Spades} fall on the turn. "Oh, all right," said Laak and fired out 11,000. The entire table started laughing at the way Laak bet his chips. Kagawa folded and Obst folded, but Baker made the call.

The river card completed the board with the {8-Spades} and Laak announced a bet of 22,100 while his good friend Antonio Esfandiari watched from behind him. Baker came back with a raise to 83,000. "Oh, that's pretty," said Esfandiari. Laak then made mention about how Esfandiari loved to see Baker raise his bet.

After some time in the tank, Laak asked, "Are you some kind of internet genius?"

Yes!" responded Baker loudly, quickly with a big nod of his head.

Laak thought for a bit longer and then folded his hand, dropping to 237,000 in chips. Baker is up to about 290,000.
