Anthony Thompson

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

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.
