Alexander Baek opened to 700 from early position and was called by Billy Baxter in the big blind.

Baxter check-called an 800 bet from Baek on the 9♦9♣4♠ flop and then both players checked on the 4♣ turn.

The J♥ completed the board and Baxter led out for 2,000. Baek tanked a bit, but eventually decided to lay his hand down and the 85-year-old poker legend dragged the pot.
