Action was picked up on the flop. The board read 9♣4♥2♣ and players were heads up. Ren Lin had placed a bet of 165,000 and David "Bakes" Baker had moved all in for 580,000, putting Lin on a tough decision.
"No gamble no future!" Lin declared before making the call to put Baker at risk.
David "Bakes" Baker: 10♣10♥
Ren Lin: 7♠2♠
Baker was ahead with his overpair but Lin still had five outs with his seven-deuce. The board ran out 8♣A♣ and Baker was awarded a full double up.
"I appreciate the gamble" Baker told his opponent as he scooped the pot.
