"Basebaldy" Strikes Out

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Eric "Basebaldy" Baldwin moved all in for all but 5,000 preflop from middle position and was called by Shawn Puri in the cutoff.

The flop came Q♠3♦J♣ and Baldwin check-called all in after Puri tossed in a single chip.

Eric Baldwin: 10♣10♥All in
Shawn Puri: K♣Q♣

Puri had outflopped Baldwin, who was drawing slim to a set or a running straight.

It wasn't meant to be, as the 6♠ turn nor 7♦ river changed nothing — sending Baldwin to the rail and the pot to Puri.
