Baldwin Doubles

Michael Gathy raised a recent pot to 60,000 after action had folded around to him in the cut-off. Eric Baldwin in the small blind then moved all in for 550,000. It folded back to Gathy who completed the call and cards were tabled.

Baldwin: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Gathy: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Baldwin held a strong lead with his pair of kings, he just needed to avoid an ace and he could get right back in the thick of things here. A {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} board was released and Baldwin secured the double up he so desperately needed.
