Pocket Fives Good for Baker
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
After Chuanshu Chen won some skirmishes, David Baker got back into the win column in a hand that began when Chen called from the small blind and Baker checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦4♠Q♦, which led to a check from Baker. Chen slid out 500,000 and was called by Baker.
Baker checked again on the 10♠ turn, and Chen chose to bet 1,500,000, which garnered a call from Baker.
The 2♠ river froze the action as both players checked to go to a showdown.
Baker flipped over his 5♦5♥, which was enough to earn the pot as Chen pitched his cards into the muck.
