We caught up with Amanda Baker and James Dempsey on the turn of an important hand. The board showed {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {8-Hearts} {9-Spades}, Baker checked and Dempsey bet 1,800.

Baker check-raised to 10,000 - enough to cover the rest of Dempsey's stack. He called and tabled {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and Baker was on a draw with {J-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

The river came {Q-Diamonds} and Dempsey was eliminated.
