In a three-bet pot on third street, three players came along and then checked fourth street with Robert Wells first to act. Wells then also checked fifth street and David "ODB" Baker bet, David Lin called and so did Wells. Sixth street was checked to Lin who bet and earned two calls. The same action repeated on seventh and Lin showed his 10♦8♠7♦ for a ten-high straight.
Wells had Q♠6♦3♥ for an eight-six-five-three low and that pipped the 8♦3♣3♦ of Baker for an eight-six-five-four low.
Robert Wells: 7♣6♦ / 5♣Q♣Q♥5♥ / 4♣
David "ODB" Baker: 8♠7♦ / A♥J♠3♥3♦ / 9♠
Baker was down to only 26,000 in chips after the hand and all-in when he completed and called a raise by Wells. This time, Baker missed a low draw and his pair of treys was not enough to beat the queens and fives of Wells to become the second casualty of the day.
When he grabbed his belongings, Baker was told by Wells that "he didn't have it" in the 2-7 hand they previously played when Baker bet-folded to a shove.
