Basebaldy Strikes Out

Eric Baldwin in happier times
Eric Baldwin in happier times

Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin was in rough shape when he put his life on the line with {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. David Oppenheim's {k-Spades}{q-Spades} started out ahead and took an ever bigger lead on the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. The {j-Hearts} turn meant Baldwin was drawing to a chop. No luck from the {3-Clubs} river, and Baldwin fell to Oppenheim in yet another spades bracket-buster.
