Baker Busts Boxell

David 'ODB' Baker
David 'ODB' Baker

Leo Boxell picked the wrong time to move all in, as he did so on the board of {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{J-Spades} against David "ODB" Baker. Boxell held the {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and was drawing stone dead against the {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for Baker.

The river completed the board with the {8-Clubs}, giving Boxell a meaningless two pair as he got up out of his chair and headed for the exit. Baker climbed to nearly 50,000 in chips and is simply crushing at the moment.

Kuether and Cajelais Still Battling

Over on Table 18, Erik Cajelais and Joe Kuether have been battling all day long, and the two just played another pot that saw some chips get sent over to Kuether.

Kuether had raised from the cutoff seat and Cajelais made the call from the big blind. Following that, the dealer ran out the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop and both players checked through to see the {4-Hearts} land on the turn. Cajelais checked fourth street and Kuether bet 550. Cajelais called.

The {3-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Cajelais checked. Kuether tossed out 1,025 and Cajelais called.

Kuether turned up the {A-Clubs}{3-Spades} for two pair, aces and threes. Cajelais mucked and Kuether scooped the pot.
