Bobby Baldwin - 7th Place

Hand #41: Bobby Baldwin held the button on the first hand back from the break. From under the gun, Guy Laliberté raised to one million. Play folded to Baldwin and he put in a reraise to five million even. Laliberté moved all in and Baldwin called.

Laliberté rolled over the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and was ahead of the {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} for Baldwin. Baldwin had the least amount of chips and was the player at risk. He was all in for 10.2 million total.

The flop rolled out {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Baldwin picked up a pair, although it wasn't the one he needed to take the lead. The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and the river the {7-Hearts}. Baldwin had missed and was eliminated in seventh place.
