Baldwin Gets There

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante
Eric Baldwin
Eric Baldwin

Eric Baldwin called an early position raise to 350 and the small blind came along for the ride. The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and everyone checked.

But when the {9-Clubs} turn was revealed and the original raiser bet 600, Baldwin was the only caller. The riaser checked the {a-Clubs} river, but Baldwin would have none of it, making it 1,125 to get a glimpse of his cards.

The raiser called, but mucked when Baldwin turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Harwood Gets Paid

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

2013 WSOP baracelet winner Loni Harwood bet 850 heads-up into a 1,500-chip pot on the turn with the board reading {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

She got called and both players checked the {2-Hearts} river before Harwood turned over {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. It must have been good as her opponent mucked.

Mackey Slipping

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Things are not looking as good as they once did for James Mackey.

He was faced with a 2,500-chip decision on the river of a pot with close to 3,000 in the middle and the board reading {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

After a minute or two in the tank, he laid it down and is looking at less than a starting stack now.

Bluffing The Master

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Men Nguyen got put to a decision for all his chips on a {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board.

The man they call "The Master", among other things, bet out 1,200 into a pot of about 3,000 on the river, but his heads-up opponent responded by pushing all in.

He had Nguyen covered, making the bet for 4,700 effective. Nguyen took his time about it, but eventually folded. His opponent showed {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, otherwise known as queen high.

They Don't Call Him Boatman For Nothing

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Barny Boatman, the defending champ in this event, was faced with an 1,100-chip bet on a hand with a little more than 3,000 chips in the middle and the board reading {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

He shipped it in for 2,300 total and naturally, his heads-up opponent made the call. Boatman quickly turned over the old {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and the boat was good.
