Baker Crushes the Flop
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Eugene Baker raised it up from under the gun and the button shipped all in for 27,800. The blinds folded and Baker was happy to make the call and get the chips in the middle.
Opponent: K♥J♠
Eugene Baker: A♥K♠
The flop came A♠A♦10♠ and Baker took a commanding lead with trip aces, despite his opponent picking up a straight draw. The 3♣ and 2♦ runout changed nothing and Baker sent his opponent to the rail.
