Baron Backs Off

Shamus

Isaac "WestmenloAA" Baron raised to 6,500 from middle position, the player in the cutoff called, then the small blind -- not necessarily on purpose, it seemed -- made a smaller-than-intended raise to 11,200. The big blind folded, and the other two players both called.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

. The SB and Baron both checked, the cutoff bet 10,000, the SB folded, and Baron called. The turn was the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. Baron again checked, his opponent bet 20,000, and Baron called.

The river brought the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, and this time after Baron's check his opponent bet 40,000. Baron let it go.

Baron has 250,000.
