Baker Back Up Above Starting Stack
David "Bakes" Baker enjoyed a hot start to the day but had been steadily slipping down the chip counts following the first break. Action folded to him in the cutoff and he raised and received calls from both blinds.
On the first draw, the small and big blind drew two cards and Baker took three. The small blind then bet, which was enough to fold out the big blind but not Baker, who called.
The second draw saw the small blind take another two while Baker only drew one. The small blind continued their aggression from the first draw and led into Baker, who was not deterred and called once more.
On the final draw, the small blind stood pat while Baker drew one. The small blind slowed down and checked to Baker, who appeared to consider a bet before ultimately deciding to check. Baker showed down 
, good enough to take his stack up above 25,000.
