Bakes Bets The Whole Way

We went over to David Bakes Baker's table and saw that he was in a pot with three other players. The board read {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and the big blind checked to Baker, who bet out 2,400. The other two players folded, but the big blind stuck around.

They went heads up to the turn, which was the {8-Hearts}, and after the big blind checked, Baker fired out 4,300. Again he was called, and the river came out the {4-Diamonds}. The big blind checked for a third time, and Baker took about 20 seconds before he fired out 9,400, which was just under half his stack. The big blind called fairly quickly, and he was given bad news, as Baker flipped up {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The big blind mucked, and Baker raked in the pot to bump him up to 55,000.
