David "ODB" Baker raised first to act and was called by Fu Wong on the button, Brian Yoon in the small blind, and Hooman Nikzad in the big blind for a four-way pot.

"Ah man, flop me nothing so I can fold," Baker said, which got a laugh from his tablemates.

The flop came 6♦4♦K♦ and it was checked to Baker, who continued for 16,000. Everyone folded in turn to award Baker the pot without resistance.

"Whew, I don't really have a good hand either. I just wanted it to be done," Baker said as he turned over 8♦8♥.
