Split Pot for Baldwin

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

The flop read {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and James Clifford (big blind) check-called the 350 bet of Eric Baldwin on the button.

They both checked through the {7-Clubs} on the turn to the {k-Diamonds} on the river. Clifford bet 1,000 without any hesitation. Baldwin glanced at the board and called. Clifford showed the {9-Spades} for two pair, nines and sevens, with the king-kicker on the board. Baldwin tabled {9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the same hand to split the pot.
