Charlie Hook Eliminated in 10th Place ($29,250)

Charlie Hook - 10th Place
Charlie Hook - 10th Place
Charlie Hook opened with a raise on the button to 23,000 and Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin called in the big blind. The flop came down {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Baldwin fired a bet of 56,000. Hook called.

The river came the {2-Clubs} and Baldwin fired all in. Hook called off the remaining 100,000 or so of his chips with two red kings, but couldn't beat the {J-Spades} {8-Spades} of Baldwin who flopped trip jacks.

Hook took home just under $30,000 for his 10th-place finish. On the flip side of things, Baldwin has now snagged the chip lead with 1.3 million.
