Baker Relentless On The River

David "ODB" Baker has been mixing it up early during Level 1. We caught him in two hands, neither of which went to showdown, which Baker took down with a river bet.

On the first, the board read {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and an opponent check-called 1,275 from Baker. The {5-Clubs} hit the river and when it was checked to Baker, he fired 4,150. His opponent folded, giving Baker the pot.

Shortly after that, another opponent called 825 from Baker on a {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board. When the {10-Hearts} fell on the river, Baker's bet of 2,650 also forced a fold.
