Eric Baldwin's Look-Alike

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We noticed a fellow wearing an Arizona Diamondbacks hat and rocking a nice stashe. We wanted to say hi to Eric Baldwin but realized it was none other then Ryan Welch. We are not sure whether he lost a prop bet or he just admires Baldwin's looks. Either way we got to see him knock out an opponent.

It wasn't easy as he had to call a fairly large all in bet pre flop. After a while he made the call and was delighted to his opponent holding {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Welch had his man trumped by having the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The board held five cards lower to the jack and Welch knocked out his opponent. The
Baldwin look-alike is stacking and stashing 50,000.
