Baker Has Gil-More Than He Thought

A big decision for Philip Baker just now saw him eliminate Alan Gilmore. Gilmore raised him out of the small blind after Baker came in under the gun with {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, and he really thought about it, saying, "I wanted to see a flop..." Eventually, sizing up Gilmore's stack, he got it all in.

Baker was surprised and happy to see that not only did he cover Gilmore, he had Gilmore's {K-Spades} {8-Spades} dominated. Rags on the board kept it that way, and Gilmore headed to the cash desk to pick up his €13,400 prize.
