Baker Shoves into Trips
Level 5
: 150/300, 0 ante
David "ODB" Baker acted first preflop and he kicked off with a raise to 700. Two players called him, the cutoff and the button.
Baker checked the 
texture and the cutoff fired 1,500. The player next to him folded but Baker slid forward a huge pile of chips, covering his opponent's remaining stack. It was an easy situation for Baker's rival who had a trey in his hand, tabling 
.
Baker trailed with 
and needed some backdoor help to scoop or at least get a chop. The 
turn gave Baker a low draw. He could scoop the pot with a queen or the last ace on the river, but the 
didn't improve Baker's hand so he had to concede 5,800 in chips.
