Wolpert Finishes Off Basebaldy

There's not much else Eric Baldwin could have done differently to avoid losing his match against Leo Wolpert. He had Wolpert on the ropes with queens against queen-ten but Wolpert slithered away. Then, down to 5,000 chips, Baldwin shoved with {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Wolpert called with {k-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. The board was all blanks, with neither player connecting, until the river fell {8-Clubs} to make a pair of eights for Wolpert to give him the victory.

Just one match remains to close out the Clubs Bracket.
