Baldwin Hits an Ace from Space

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Eric Baldwin opened with a raise from early position and was met by a three-bet to 9,400 by Chris Johnson in the hijack. Action folded back to Baldwin and he opted to move all in for 49,600. Johnson asked for a count and made the call.

Johnson: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Baldwin: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop wasn't much help to Baldwin, and the {3-Hearts} turn meant he needed an ace and an ace only on the river to survive. Wouldn't you know it, the dealer burned and put out the {A-Hearts}! Johnson was left with just 5,000 after the hand, and that disappeared a short time later.

Meanwhile, a short-stacked Heinz Kamutzki has been eliminated from the tournament.
