The Other Baker Takes a Hit

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

While Jason Baker is trending up, it's a different story for Rich Baker who is now down to about 3,500.

After the player in the cutoff raised to 2,500, Baker shoved from the small blind.. A quick call from the player in the cutoff revealed {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. A dejected Baker turned over {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and was unable to catch up as the board came down {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Luckily for Baker, he had his opponent slightly covered and is still alive in the tournament, albeit with about four big blinds.
