Baldwin Climbs Back Over 2 Million

Eric Baldwin

Life's good when you limp from the small blind with {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the flop comes {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, which is exactly what just happened to Eric 'basebaldy' Baldwin.

Baldwin checked his made straight over to Robert Mizrachi after the flop, and Mizrachi took the bait, firing a 40,000 bet. Baldwin flat called.

The {8-Clubs} fell on the turn and this time Baldwin opened with a bet of 105,000. Mizrachi made a quick call.

The {K-Diamonds} was the last card off the deck and Baldwin made it 235,000 to play. Mizrachi made the call and mucked immediately when Baldwin showed him the goods.

"Good ball, base!" shouted one of Baldwin's railbirds.

After the hand, Baldwin stacked up 2.13 million in chips while Mizrachi fell back down to 2.64 million.
