Mourneau Wins Battle of the Joes

Joe Baldwin check-called for 30,000 against Joe Mourneau on a flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. He check-called another 40,000 when the {9-Spades} hit the turn, and 75,000 more when the {A-Spades} spiked the river.

The calling cost him dearly as he turned over {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} only to find that Mourneau held {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The hand dropped Baldwin's stack to 280,000 and increased Mourneau's count to 750,000.
