Baker Flops the Nuts...So Does His Opponent

David "ODB" Baker opened to 3,200 under the gun. He was called by the players on the button and in the big blind, leading to a {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop.

The player in the big blind led out 5,000, Baker called, and the player on the button popped it to 13,000. That chased out the player in the big blind, but not Baker. He asked how much the button had behind (about 18,000) and re-raised all in. The player on the button called immediately with {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for the nuts.

Baker tabled {6-Spades}{4-Spades} for the same straight and the pot was chopped after the {2-Clubs} turn and {A-Clubs} river.
