Baldwin Can't Let Go

On a board reading {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} Eric Baldwin led for 2,250 and was called by a lone opponent in position. The river was the {q-Hearts} and Baldwin checked. As he did that, or perhaps slightly beforehand, the other competitors in the hand said, "I don't believe you have that queen." After some thought, the belief was strong enough to fire out 6,000.

"You don't believe me because you have it?" We weren't sure if that was a question or a statement at first but a must have been a question because Baldwin reluctantly called. Sure enough, {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} was tabled and Baldwin mucked his hand.
