ODBusted

David "ODB" Baker raised to 4,800 from early position only to have a shorter stacked player move all in for 23,100 total. It folded back to Baker who contemplated a call for over a minute before finally and seemingly reluctantly mucking his hand.

When counting Baker's stack after the hand, he said to us, "Stick around, they're going in quick."

With about 32,000 in chips, Baker wasn't kidding. No more than five minutes later Baker got the rest of his chips in with {K-}{Q-} before the flop and was racing against an opponent's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

The board fell {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Spades} and Baker was sent to the rail with mere minutes left in play for the evening. We're certain that we will see him back on the felt for Day 1b.
