We picked up the action on the flop as the dealer spread out {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Out of position, Eric Baldwin checked to the player on the button. He bet 2,700 into a pot of slightly more than that, and Baldwin check-raised all in for 14,250. The call came instantly as the unknown player had flopped top two with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Baldwin rolled over {10-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for the big draw.

The turn {Q-Diamonds} was just what Baldwin was looking for, filling in his flush and leaving his opponent dead to a full house. The river {Q-Hearts} was the wrong board pair, though, and Baldwin has doubled up to 33,000.
