Baldwin Gaining Traction
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action on the table folded around two-time WSOP bracelet winner Eric Baldwin who raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and then called the button player's 45,000 three-bet jam.
Opponent: 
Eric Baldwin: 
Baldwin held the better hand and the 
flop paired his nine but also gave his opponent an open-ended straight draw.
The 
turn improved Baldwin to two-pair but still had a sweat as his opponent could still win with any king, eight or diamond.
Luckily for Baldwin, the 
completed the board on the river and he eliminated his opponent.
