David "ODB" Baker raised to 55,000 from the cutoff only to have Jack Ward three-bet to 201,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way, Baker potted, and Ward called off for 259,000 total.
Showdown
Baker:
Ward:
"You can pair that card," Ward told Baker about his four on the , eluding to the fact that he would make a wheel. It was certainly wishful thinking, and a wish that would not come true as the appeared on the turn followed by the on the river.
Ward was all smile as he shook hands with a few players and then exited the stage in seventh place, good for $43,840.
Randy Ohel limped from the hijack and Viacheslav Zhukov did the same from the cutoff. David "ODB" Baker was on the button and decided to raise the pot, making it 132,000 to go. The small blind got out of the way and Yuval Bronshtein opted to move all in for 140,000 total from the big. Ohel and Zhukov got out of the way and Baker made the call.
"I have the worst hand I've played all day," Baker said before tabling his cards.
Showdown
Bronshtein:
Baker:
Baker has been running well as of late, which was evidenced by the flop. "That's alright, I'll take half," Bronshtein said hoping he'd catch a qualifying low. The turn was a low card but it paired Bronshtein.
That meant Baker would take down the pot with a high card, which is exactly what he did when the peeled off. With that, Bronshtein shook hands with the remaining five players and took his leave in sixth place.
Action folded to Randy Ohel in the cutoff and he raised pot. The button and small blind got out of the way, but Chris Bell repotted from the big. Ohel got his stack of 350,000 all in and Bell had him covered.
Showdown
Ohel:
Bell:
The flop was kind to Bell as it gave him a flush draw and a low draw, while the turn improved him to two pair. The river gave Ohel an inferior two pair, and he was eliminated in fifth place.
Ohel, who won Event 22: $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball earlier this series, fell short of his second bracelet, leaving David "ODB" Baker as the only man in this tournament left with a chance of capturing a second bracelet here at the 2012 World Series of Poker.
Roch Cousineau opened for 115,000 under the gun and David "ODB" Baker defended from the small blind. The latter checked the flop, but then check-raised Cousineau's 180,000 bet the size of the pot. Cousineau simply said, "All in," and Baker got in for around 900,000 total.
Showdown
Baker:
Cousineau:
It was a bad spot for Baker as Cousineau held the better heart draw, an open-ended straight draw, and low outs if it came runner-runner. The turn was a dagger through Baker's heart as it gave Cousineau the said straight, while the sent him out the door in fourth place and putting an end to his dreams of a second bracelet.
The 2012 World Series of Poker continued on Thursday as the final 31 runners of a 526-player field returned to battle it out for the Event 58: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better title. After ten levels of play, a winner was still undetermined, which meant the remaining three players will return for an impromptu Day 4 and battle it out for the gold bracelet and $330,277 first-place prize.
The man with the best chance of capturing the title is Viacheslav Zhukov, who bagged up 2.26 million and finished as the chip leader. Standing in his way are Roch Cousineau and Chris Bell, who sit with 1.64 million and 835,000 respectively.
