Not David Baker

Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
The chair that was formerly occupied by David Baker (not to be confused with David Baker) is now vacant of both body and chips, and we'll presume that "ODB" has gone the way of the dinosaur.

Hello, Eddy!
Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
We picked up the action on the flop as the dealer laid 
out in the middle of the felt. The action checked to Eddy Sabat who made a bet of 3,600, and he was called by just one opponent out of position.
That brought them heads up to the 
turn, and now the player in the blinds led out into the pot with 7,700 chips of his own. Sabat eyed up his opponent's remaining stack before plunking the call into the pot.
On the river, the 
filled out the board, and the bettor fired out one more bullet worth 16,700 chips. It was a big decision for Sabat, and he took his time considering before sticking the call into the middle. "You got it," his opponent said.
Sabat tabled his to win the pot, and it was good enough to push him up to about 132,000.

Exeunt Pros
Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Dennis Phillips and Phil Hellmuth were sharing the same felt oval for a few orbits, but you're more likely to find them sharing elbow room at the bar now. A check on Table 7 sees both men have vanished at the hands of Michael Simon.
We saw Phillips run his pocket queens into Simon's pocket aces, and we're not sure what happened to relieve Hellmuth of his last ~19,000 chips. Either way, both men are out, and we're now essentially out of big names in the field.
All out except for Eddy Sabat, that is.
