Ryutaro Suzuki: XxXx/9♣K♥7♣8♦/Xx

David "ODB" Baker was forced all in from the ante. Ryutaro Suzuki then completed, Jeremy Ausmus raised, and James Cheung reraised. Both Suzuki and Ausmus called.

Cheung bet on fourth street and both opponents called. Fifth was checked through, and Ausmus then bet on sixth. Cheung and Suzuki called.

"I'm not going to look until I have to," Baker said.

"David, I'll give you $5 to sweat your cards," Eli Elezra said to him.

"He won't even do it for $100," Robert Mizrachi added.

"If he does it for $100, at least he can say he cashed something," Michael Mizrachi chimed in.

"This is the asshole representing us for the next month. He hopes I bubble," Robert said about his brother.

Suzuki, Ausmus, and Cheung checked down seventh. Ausmus then showed 10♦6♠3♣ for two pair, tens and sevens. Cheung and Suzuki mucked.

Baker slowly peeled his cards, turning over the 9♦ followed by the 4♠. He needed a queen or a nine on the river, and he caught the 9♥ to make trips and survive on the bubble.
