Two For Baxter
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Billy Baxter open-jammed a short stack in early position and action folded to Albert Riccobono in the big blind. "You know everyone is rooting for you, Billy. I'll even be rooting for you if I call," Riccobono said before folding.
The next hand, Ron Fetsch opened to 900,000 from the hijack and Baxter called in the big blind.
"I thought you were gonna ship it," said Fetsch.
"No, I didn't have that good of a hand," replied Baxter.
The flop landed 5♣9♣8♠ and Baxter pushed his stack into the middle. "Well, I guess I gotta ship it now," Baxter said.
Fetsch folded and Baxter tabled a flopped straight draw with 10♦7♦.
