Baker's Check-Raise Doesn't Work

[user272102]

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Amanda Baker opened the action to 1,800 and Terry Presley, fresh off winning a massive pot with set over set, raised it up to 4,100 and said to Baker "you want to play a big pot?" Baker said nothing and would make the call when the action got back to her.

"I guess that's a yes," said Presley, as he put on his headphones.

The flop came [QsTs6d and Baker checked to Presley who bet 6,500. Baker thought for a moment before check-raising to 14,5000. Presley was quick to respond, grabbing a stack of T5,000 chips and slapping them down in front of him. This was enough to set Baker all in and she quickly folded. Presley is the clear chip leader in the tournament right now with approximately 130,000 in chips.
