Song Eliminates Baldwin with Higher Straight
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kevin Song and Eric Baldwin were engaged on a completed board of 8♥10♣9♥2♣8♣ and a pot of 200,000 in a five handed table.
Song bet 37,000 on the river and was waiting for Baldwin to act, taking his time to consider his next move. Finally, he decided to shove all-in. Song asked for a count, but before the dealer could even do so, he made the call.
Baldwin showed 7♦6♥ for a straight but Song tabled Q♦J♥ for the higher straight. Baldwin could only say "Sick," as he left the table. Song scooped the pot for a chip up.
