and Baldwin fired a bet of 56,000. Hook called.

Ryan Schmidt opened with a raise to 24,000 first to act, and he found a caller as Charlie Hook came along from the button. Action came to Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin, and he put in a healthy re-raise to 210,000. That was enough to fold the table out of the way and earn him an extra 69,000 to pad his stack.

Basebaldy is now up to 1,060,000 and hot on the heels of the chip leader.
