Baldwin Busts

[user250068]

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Eric Baldwin was nursing a short stack for most of the day and even though he had a few double ups to last this long, he could never really get any traction. That holds true for the hand that sent him home. He went all in with queens and found himself up against aces. He wasn't able to improve when the board ran out and left the table wishing everyone luck.
