Baker KO's Wong

Amanda Baker

Amanda Baker opened the pot with a raise to 5,000 from middle position. Mark Newhouse called from the button, and Christopher Wong moved all in from the small blind. The total amount was 15,900, but Baker wanted to play for more. She reraised all in herself, successfully isolating herself against the at-risk player.

Showdown
Baker: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Wong: {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades}

The board would run out {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. By virtue of her full house, Baker sends a player to the exit, chipping her way up to around 75,000 in the process.
