"That's a BDM," tablemate Gus Hansen said. "That's a big dick move right there."

Stud Games: 3,000 Ante, 3,000 Bring-In, 12,000 Completion, 12,000-24,000 Limits

Mike Leah: 8♦5♣ / 4♥5♦6♦9♠ / A♣
David "ODB" Baker: K♥K♦ / 8♥6♠K♠10♦ / 6♣

David "ODB" Baker raised all-in for 29,000 on fifth street and Mike Leah called. Baker showed kings in the hole that had improved to trips on fifth while Leah was on a low draw and possible straight. Sixth street didnt change much but Baker improved to kings full thereafter to already take back his half.

Leah spiked an ace to make a low and Baker sighed "when will it end?"

The dealer almost instantly replied "maybe next summer" and the entire table cracked up, then grabbed their phones to give her a five star rating.

Mike Leah: XxXx/J♣9♥7♠5♥/Xx
David "ODB" Baker: XxXx/6♠9♦J♦ - folded on fifth street
Arthur Morris: XxXx/A♦ - folded on third street

Arthur Morris completed with his ace and was raised by Matthew Beinner. David "ODB" Baker called cold and Mike Leah made it three bets to go. Morris let his hand go, but both Beinner and Baker called for a bloated three-way pot.

Beinner and Baker called a bet from Leah on fourth street and Leah bet again after being checked to on fifth. Beinner raised, which got a fold from Baker and a call from Leah.

Leah then called bets from Beinner on sixth and seventh and Beinner revealed his hole cards for kings-up. Leah took one last peek at his holding and send his cards into the muck.
