Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

With about 5,000 chips in the middle and the board reading {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, a player in early position checked, another in middle position bet 3,500, Eric Baldwin called from the button, and the early-position player folded.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and the middle-position player checked. Baldwin bet 5,000, his opponent check-raised all-in for about 15,000, and Baldwin called with a covering stack.

Eric Baldwin: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Baldwin had the best of it with top two pair and his opponent needed to spike a king or queen on the river to survive. The final card was the {10-Spades} and Baldwin took the pot to stack his opponent.
