Baker Claims Another Scalp
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Matthew Wantman opened to 40,000 from under the gun before David "ODB" Baker three-bet to 115,000 from the hijack. In the cutoff, Eric Blair jammed for his remaining 330,000. Wantman tanked for a bit before he folded before Baker snapped it off.
Eric Blair: Q♥Q♦ 
David "ODB" Baker: A♠A♦
It was a cooler scenario with Baker having the best of it. The K♦10♥5♣ flop changed nothing but the A♣ turn doubled Blair's outs. However, the 4♥ on the river sealed the elimination as Blair hit the exit in 32nd.
