Eric Baldwin has amassed one of the top chip stacks in the room and he is not shying away from any action.

Hand #1: David Jackson was under the gun and raised to 100,000. Eric Baldwin three-bet to 255,000 from the cutoff and Gary Sewell called in the big blind, as did Jackson.

The flop was {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and everyone checked to the turn which was the {4-Clubs}. Sewell led out for 350,000, Jackson folded and Baldwin called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Sewell fired out a bet of 500,000. Baldwin moved all in for over 2,000,000 and Sewell tanked on his decision for his remaining stack of 700,000. After some deliberation, Sewell called. Baldwin tabled {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a full house and Sewell sent his cards to the dealer who mucked the hand without showing.

Hand #2: Action folded around to Eric Baldwin who raised from the hijack. Randy Pfeifer was on the button and moved all in for 390,000, Baldwin called.

Randy Pfeifer: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Eric Baldwin: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and the rivered jack gave Pfeifer new life and a larger stack to work with.
