Tony Bolahood was down to just 11,300 when he moved it in from under the gun. The table folded all the way back around to Keven Stammen, and he wasn't even going to bother looking. He called, and everyone got to see his 
together as Balahood tabled the slightly-better 
.
It wasn't better for long. The flop brought a pair for Stammen, and the

to send him to the exit. Baker chipped up to about 450,000 thanks to that, but the chips would not stay with him for long.
On the next hand, Baker once again opened the pot, this time under the gun. Keven Stammen three-bet him, and Bakes went ahead and four-bet enough to put Stammen to the test. The call came, Stammen all in for 90,200 and flipping for his tournament life. He held
