Baker Rises

David Baker

David "ODB" (or "Not Bakes", if you'd prefer) Baker was down around 3,000 early in the day. We saw him bounce all the way back up to 50,000 at one point near the dinner break, then back down under 20,000. The latest OBD trend has him once again on the rise. We picked up the action as he was involved in a heads-up pot just a moment ago.

The gentleman on the button had raised, and Baker called from the big blind. The two men took a flop of {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, and Baker check-called a continuation bet from his opponent. OBD checked again on the {2-Clubs} turn, calling down another bullet worth 7,200 chips. Both men checked the {4-Clubs} river, and Baker said simply, "Jack." His opponent made him show the {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs} before mucking, and that last pot moves Baker back up to about 55,000.

He noticed us eyeballing his chips as he stacked them up after the hand. "The roller-coaster day continues..." he said ho-hum, returning to the task at hand.
