McDonald Crushed by Baker's Heroine Call

Amanda Baker - crushing souls!
Amanda Baker - crushing souls!

From late position, Amanda Baker raised and the others got out of the way before Linda McDonald called from the big blind to go heads-up to the flop of {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Before the dealer had even completed spreading the flop, McDonald announced that she was all in.

"Why so much?" Baker asked as a confused look slowly morphed on her face. Baker sat there in deep thought for over four minutes before making a crying call with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for top-top.

"Good call," McDonald muttered, showing down {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Baker's hand held up after the turn and river ran out {10-Diamonds}, {4-Clubs} and McDonald's day was done and dusted.

Baker is now close to 160,000 in chips.
