Baker Gains Chips Early
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 90,000 ante
David "ODB" Baker raised to 150,000 and Chris Brewer called from the big blind. Brewer drew one and Baker drew two. After the draw, Brewer bet 100,000 and turned over Jx9x8x7x5x when Baker called. Baker mucked the losing hand.
On the next hand, Brewer limped in from the small blind and Baker checked from the big blind. Brewer drew one and Baker drew three. Brewer fired 210,000 but Baker raised to 750,000 and sent the collegiate runner into the tank. After a few moments of thought, Brewer called and Baker turned over 8x5x6x4x2x to take the pot.
"I thought nine was good," Brewer said as he mucked the losing hand.
