Kentaro Okawa raised to 19,000,000 on the button, leaving only 500,000 behind. Eric Baldwin took a moment to take inventory before he made the call out of the big blind to put himself at risk for 17,000,000.

Eric Baldwin: A8All in
Kentaro Okawa: 109

Baldwin was ahead as they went to a runout with Okawa looking to spike his cards for a knockout.

The flop favored Baldwin when it came 3Q7 as his ace high was still in position to secure the double up.

Okawa was unable to connect on the 2 turn or the 7 river to leave him with a pittance, while Baldwin was the beneficiary of a double up.
