Baker Can't Beat the Flush
Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
We caught up with David "ODB" Baker in a three way pot with the flop reading 
. It was checked to Baker, who fired out 1,625. One of his opponents put out a raise to 3,000, but he had to make it 3,350 to make it a legal raise. The third opponent folded, and Baker quickly put the chips in for the call.
The 
hit the turn, and Baker's opponent fired out 3,000. Baker called quickly again, and the river brought the 
. Both players checked, and Baker was shown 
by his opponent. Baker nodded his head, rechecked his cards, and slid them to the dealer.
Despite that hit, Baker is still doing very well with 32,000. Meanwhile, after being crippled by Baker earlier, Nghi Van Tran has been eliminated.

Hui Loses A Few
Level 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
We only caught the aftermath of the hand, but here's what we saw. The board read 
, and circuit grinder Phillip Hui held top pair 
. However, it wasn't good enough to beat the 
of his opponent. All the money got in the middle at some point, as Hui was counting out chips for the double up when we arrived.
Despite losing that hand, Hui is still plenty fine with 31,600.

: 150/300, 25 ante
As we walked back to Phillip Hui's table, we saw that he had suddenly assembled a big stack that was pushing 60,000. He walk us through the hand that got him there.
Hui opened the action to 400 from under the gun, and he recieved calls from the next two players, as well as the small blind. The flop came down 
with two hearts, and the small blind led right out for 2,000. Hui decided to min raise to 4,000, and the under the gun +1 player called, as did the small blind.
The turn brought a 
, and Hui bet 8,100 after the small blind checked. Again, the player to his left decided to flat call, and this time, the small blind got out of the way. The river came an 
, and the flop flush draw bricked out. Hui checked to his opponent, who fired out a hefty bet of 10,100. Hui went deep into the tank before eventually coming up with a call.
Hui's opponent rolled over a 10 high busted flush draw, and Hui tabled 
for second pair. After making that great call, Hui is one of our chip leaders, sitting on 58,000.
