We only walked up to the table after the hand was over, but we caught a glimpse of David "ODB" Baker doubling up a short stack. We aren't sure what Baker held, but it couldn't beat the ![]()
of his opponent, on a board that read ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
.
It's likely that Baker had an under pair, because we did hear him say "I was hoping you had ace king" after the hand. Regardless, Baker is down to 75,000 after the hand.

Ray Henson came into today as one of our short stacks, barely over his starting stack of 20,000. Well it didn't take him long to get those chips in, and while we didn't catch the hand, we can confirm that he has busted, as we saw him walk out of the poker room with his back pack on.
