Ernest Ward Eliminated in 13th Place ($31,243)
David "ODB" Baker raised to 160,000 from middle position, and was called by Ramana Epparla in the cutoff. Big blind Ernest Ward then shoved for 880,000. Both of the other players called.
On a flop of Q♣6♠7♦ Baker bet 400,000 into a dry side pot, and Ramana Epparla made the call. The action was more bizarre on the turn, however, as the J♥ peeled off, and Baker bet again, this time for 500,000. As Epparla was tanking, he lifted up his cards, accidentally allowing Baker to see the A♣ on the bottom. Baker then let Epparla know that he'd seen the card, an after some more tanking, Epparla laid down his cards, and put his head in his hands showdown ensued.
Ernest Ward: K♦6♦ 
David "ODB" Baker: 9♠9♥
Ward was in big trouble, and the 2♣ peeled off on the river, eliminating him. A player asked Epparla what he had folded, to which he replied "ace-queen"
