Baron Doubles Up

By the time we arrived tableside, the board read {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds} and there were two players in the hand. The gentleman in mid position checked to Isaac Baron on the button, who bet 7,000. His opponent quickly announced all in.

Baron sighed and paused his ipod, before asking for a count - his opponent had him covered by around 2,000. "Oh man," he said, and pulled a face. "You have something yet?" Replied his opponent, "No speak English," which was probably only partly true.

Baron squirmed for a little longer, and then called all in.

Baron: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} for an overpair
Mr. No Speak English: {A-Spades} {4-Spades} for a flush draw and a gutshot

River: {8-Diamonds}

The now-crippled opponent immediately complained that the dealer had not burned a card, but the three dealers who happened to be in the vicinity and the three burn cards on the felt confirmed that he had. A very relieved Baron duly doubled to around 75,000.
