Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

David "ODB" Baker has just scooped a massive pot that gave him what is certain to be the largest stack in the room at the moment. We arrived as the last of the money went in on the flop, but Baker was kind enough to recap the action.

Four players took a flop of of {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Action checked around to the original preflop raiser who continued for 1,550. A player called and Baker made it 4,500 to go. One of the original checkers raised all in for 10,200 and the preflop raiser called. Action folded back to Baker who moved all in over the top. The preflop raiser contemplated for some time before calling for roughly 26,000 more. Baker had both of his opponents covered with two community cards to come.

Baker: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}
Preflop Raiser: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Baker's top two pair were in the lead but both of his opponents were drawing live for their tournament lives. Fortunately for ODB, the turn and river bricked out for his opponents with the {7-Hearts} and the {6-Spades}. Baker's two pair held up and he scored the double knockout, bringing his stack to right around 95,000.
