Baldwin Rising

Eric Baldwin is up to about 120,000 after busting an opponent.

When we arrived at the table, the decision was on Baldwins's opponent for his tournament life on an {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} board. After a little while in the tank, his opponent called all in for roughly 20,000 with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Baldwin tabled {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and had the hand clinched.

A meaningless {K-Clubs} river secured the pot for Baldwin.
