A Double Play for Basebaldy

Just before the break...

Robert Mizrachi opened the pot with a raise to 13,000 from late position, and Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin moved all in for about 110,000 right behind him. Mizrachi would make the call to put his opponent at risk, and he was in the dominating spot with {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} versus {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}.

The flop was bone dry, but the {8-Clubs} peeled off the deck on the turn to provide salvation for the short stack. In the end, the board of {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {10-Hearts} was just what Basebaldy needed to double his way up over 225,000.
