Baxter Needs No Help

Level 3 : 50/75, 25 ante

Billy Baxter raised to 200 from under the gun and the next two players both called. It folded around to the big blind who re-raised all in to 1,125. Baxter took little time isolating the all in player by moving all in himself. The other two opponents got out of the way and play was heads up.

The all in opponent from the big blind drew one and Baxter stood pat. The player seemed to know he was beat even after he showed his Ten-Nine and indeed he was. Baxter turned over a Ten-Seven and forced another rebuy.
