Lady Luck Favors Baker on the River

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

David "Bakes" Baker raised to 35,000 under the gun only to be reraised to 88,000 by Rob Akery in the small blind. Baker proceeded to move all in for 476,000 and Akery called.

Baker: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Akery: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Baker's tournament life was at stake and he was in bad shape. The {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop left him in want of a queen, which was not delivered on the {9-Spades} turn. It was down to the river for Baker. In a long night that has been filled with ups and downs, it was no surprise to see the {Q-Hearts} hit the river! Baker hit his card to double to 977,000 while Akery was left with just 15,000.
