Baker Drops Two Big Ones
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Hands #51-#53
David "ODB" Baker lost a couple of hands just before the end-of-level break to knock him back down to just over 100,000.
First Baker raised it up in the cutoff, and Brian Brubaker reraised on the button. Baker called, then drew two, while Brubaker drew one. Baker check called a bet, and the same drawing and betting action happened on the second draw. The third time, Baker drew one, Brubaker patted, and Baker check called a third time. Brubaker showed the wheel: 
, and Baker mucked his hand.
On the very next hand, Baker raised under the gun, and he was called by Eli Elezra in the small blind, and David Chiu in the big. The blinds both drew two, while Baker drew one. It was checked to Baker, who fired out, and both players called. Everyone drew one, and this time, Elezra fired out. Chiu folded, Baker called, and both players patted. Again, Elezra bet, Baker called, and Elezra showed 
. Baker mucked, and his stack shrunk to 105,000.

Smooth Sailing
Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Hands #46-#50
After Brian Brubaker got a walk and David Chiu raised from the cutoff and won the blinds, Daniel Negreanu won a couple of hands in a row.
The first saw Negreanu betting after the second draw and chasing both David "ODB" Baker and Eli Elezra (playing from the blinds). "Queen smooth," said the tourney director "Red Bull" Robbie as Negreanu showed 
.
On the next hand Negreanu raised the button and Chiu defended his big blind. Both took two cards, Chiu bet, Negreanu raised, and Chiu called. Both took one on the next draw, and Chiu check-called a bet from Negreanu.
On the third draw Chiu drew one, Negreanu stood pat, and both checked. Negreanu showed a jack smooth this time — 
— and Chiu showed a as he mucked.
Eli Elezra won the next hand versus Chiu, again with a "smooth" hand — — and Chiu has now slipped under 300,000.

Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Hands #34-#37
Eli Elezra raised it up on the button, and David Chiu called from the small blind. David "ODB" Baker called from the big blind, then Chiu drew one, Baker two, and Elezra stood pat. It was checked around to Elezra, who fired out, and both players called. The same drawing and betting actions happened again, and on the third draw, Baker and Chiu both drew one, while Elezra stayed pat.
Chiu fired out, and Baker folded. Elezra went deep into the tank, thinking for about 90 seconds, before saying that he was folding an eighty-seven. Chiu gave him a nod as if to say it was the correct fold, and Chiu took down the big pot.
