Baldwin Scoops Big Pot Without Showdown

Jose Roberto Santos raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin called on the button. Chase Steely called out of the big blind as well. The three players took a flop of {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and action checked around.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and Steely led out with a bet of 65,000. Santos folded and then action moved over to Baldwin. He raised to 175,000, putting the pressure back on Steely. Steely took about half of a minute to make the call.

The river completed the board, adding the {8-Clubs}. Steely checked. Baldwin took his time before betting 330,000. Steely tanked before slowly sliding his hand towards the dealer for a fold. He dropped to 970,000 chips. Baldwin moved up to 1.85 million.
