Basebaldy Busto

We came to Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin's table and saw that he was heads up with an opponent on a {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. There was about 5,500 in the pot, and it was checked to Baldwin, who bet out 3,000. His opponent elected to check-minraise to 6,000, and Baldwin called. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds}, and his opponent again checked to Baldwin, who fired out 6,000 this time. Again, his opponent counted out a minraise, and slid it into the pot. Baldwin chucked in the rest of his chips, 6,125 in total, and the cards were flipped.

Baldwin: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Baldwin was well ahead on the flop, but miles behind on the turn, as his opponent had made trip deuces. The meaningless river brought the {8-Diamonds}, and Baldwin was eliminated from the tournament. Baldwin will have the chance to re-enter tomorrow
