Big Flop for Baldwin

Shamus

Eric Baldwin raised to 190,000 from the button, and Jonas Klausen called. The flop came {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

, and Klausen checked. Baldwin bet 255,000, and Klausen check-raised to 805,000 total. Baldwin suddenly moved all in, and Klausen snap-called.

Another bit of bad timing for Klausen -- though potentially much more damaging here than in that previous hand when wasn't able to play his pocket aces -- as Baldwin showed {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

for the set, and Klausen {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

for top two pair.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and the river {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

, and now Baldwin has a commanding lead. He's up over 8 million chips, while Klausen tumbles down to about 1.35 million.
