Baron Battling

Down to as few as 11,000 in chips earlier in the day (11,000 was the lowest we counted him at anyway), Isaac Baron has fought his way back up to 52,000 after recently eliminating an unknown opponent.

A player in early position limped into the pot for 1,000 and when the action got around to Baron in mid-late position, he kicked it up to around 4,000. Action then folded around to the big blind, who moved in for what looked somewhat like a smallish 15,000.

"If I call, he can't reraise, right?" asked the limper of Baron.

"No," several at the table replied, including Steve Paul-Ambrose who was sitting to Baron's immediate left.

No matter, the limper folded and left Baron alone to challenge the all-in player, which he did, tossing the additional amount across the betting line before tabling {A-Clubs}
