Swing and a Miss for "Basebaldy"

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

No-Limit tournament specialist and WSOP bracelet winner Eric Baldwin just lost a big pot at his table.

Baldwin in late position raised to 200 pre-flop with a call from the player in the cutoff. The player on the button raised to 300 and both players called.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Baldwin bet 100 and the button called.

The turn was the {J-Hearts}, Baldwin bet 200, was raised by the button to 400, and then called.

The river came the {Q-Clubs} to eliminate the possibility of a low and put the possible club flush out there. Baldwin checked, the button bet 200, Baldwin put in another bet for the check-raise but was then raised again by the button. Baldwin tanked for a minute and painfully made the call for a total of 600.

The player on the button flipped over {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for the rivered nut-flush.

Baldwin shook his head and said, "Wow... that's a pretty hand" as he mucked and got knocked down to around 3,500
