Baldwin Can't Be Beat

Eric Baldwin is in the zone and getting the cards to play with. He just eliminated another opponent in a preflop all in. Baldwin held pocket kings and his opponent held pocket queens. The board ran without a card higher than a ten and Baldwin earned the knockout.

"These Two Should Get a Room Together"

A spectator on the rail was kind enough to flag down our attention to tell us about a big pot brewing between Dan Smith and Dewayne Wheeland. The railbird told us they've been playing so many pots against each other that, "they should get a room together."

The pair had built a pot over 60,000 by the time the river was dealt. The board showed {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts}, Smith checked and Wheeland bet 42,000. Smith had the dealer verify the amount and then let his hand go after a minute.

We'll keep an eye on them but unfortunately their table is next to be broken.

Four Betting with Dan Smith

Earlier in the level we found Dan Smith mixing it up when he reraised a 7,000 bet preflop to 19,000. His opponent then took a few moments before three-betting to 43,000. So the action was back on Dan Smith who took a 3 minutes before announcing all-in. Smith's opponent folded after a few seconds.

A couple hands later we saw Smith playing a pot against the same opponent on a {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. Smith's nemesis started out with a check that lead to a bet of 9,000 from Smith. A few ticks of the clock went by and Smith's opponent pushed forward a stack of chips for a 26,000 check-raise. We again saw Smith take his time before throwing out a four-bet. Smiths opponent immediately went all in and Smith folded as fast as he could, saying "that didn't work".

Smith still holds about 170,000 and is in good shape to go very deep today.
