The cutoff checked the 10♥J♦7♦ flop over to Baez who fired 10,000. The cutoff check-raised to 37,000, forcing Baez all in and he made the call.
Andres Baez: 9♥8♥
Cutoff: J♥J♣
An action flop, Baez needed to fade the board-pairing and he did after the 3♥ turn and 4♦ river sealed the deal earning him a big double up.

With three players seeing a board of Q♠5♥J♠ and around 100,000 in the middle, a player in the hijack was all in and up against both John Kipfer in middle position who covered him and a player in early position who covered both players.
Hijack: A♠4♠
John Kipfer: Q♦J♣
Early Position: 5♠5♦
All three players caught a big piece of the flop. The covering player was ahead with bottom set and remained so on the 9♥ turn. The Q♣ gave Kipfer queens full of jacks to send one of his opponents to the rail and scoop a massive early pot.
Nick Guagenti is also seated at this table and is off to a good start with a stack worth over 150 big blinds.
