Basebaldy Hits One Out of the Park

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

World Series of Poker bracelet winner Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin opened for 2,500 from middle position and cleared the field all the way around to Adam Lamphere, who opted to three-bet to 7,700. Baldwin smirked, stacked his chips, and then slid them into the middle. Lamphere called.

Baldwin: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Lamphere: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

It was a flip, but Baldwin needed to hit to stay alive. That's just what he did too as the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop gave him queens and jacks. The {Q-Spades} turn improved him to a full house, which left Lamphere drawing dead. The meaningless {4-Hearts} was put out on the river for good measure, and then Baldwin was shipped the much-needed double.
