Early Pressure on Baron

[user38449]

Isaac Baron is down to 26,500 early after losing a recent pot to an unknown opponent.

Baron opened the pot with a raise from the button and his nemesis repopped it an additional 550 from the big blind. Baron made the call.

The flop came down {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

and Baron called a 750 continuation bet from his opponent.

Both players checked the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

on the turn, sending the action straight to 5th Street which brought the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

. Baron's opponent then fired a 2,100 value bet and Baron made the call only to see his opponent turn over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

for a runner-runner top two. Baron mucked, leaving himself with 26,500 in chips.
