Baldwin Doubles Through Kotelnikov
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/3,000, 30,000 ante
Eric Baldwin moved almost his entire stack into the middle from under the gun, leaving himself 5,000 behind. Andrey Kotelnikov called what he thought was an all in out of the big blind but quickly realized Baldwin did have a single chip behind.
Kotelnikov checked on the 10♣A♣4♦ flop and then called after Baldwin tossed his 5,000 into the pot.
Eric Baldwin: A♠Q♥
Andrey Kotelnikov: K♥8♥
Baldwin had flopped top pair to leave himself in about as good a spot as you can be to secure the double. The 9♥ turn quickly ended things to secure the pot for Baldwin prior to the Q♣ river.
