No deal was made, but Baldwin did chop up this pot

Action folded the Brandon Hall in the small blind and he raised to 90,000. Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin reraised to 235,000 from the big blind. This marked the third time Baldwin has three-bet Hall since coming back from the deal talks. Hall made the call this time. The last two times, Hall let Baldwin take down the pot preflop.
