Baldwin Cracks Queens

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jason Wheeler was under the gun and opened the action to 54,000. Eric Baldwin was in the small blind and moved all in for 518,000. The big blind called, having Baldwin covered, and Wheeler folded.

Eric Baldwin: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Big blind: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and after flopping the king, Baldwin had to sweat a non-heart or queen river. He did just that, vaulting his stack over a million for the first time today.
