Baldwin Gaining Traction

Anthony Thompson

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.
