Massive Hand Swells Baldwin's Stack

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Eric Baldwin
Eric Baldwin

Action was picked up on the river and was retold.

Jesse Shotwell raised to 1,800 and found three callers including Eric Baldwin.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Shotwell bet 3,000 and Baldwin called while the other two players folded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs}. Shotwell then checked it over to Baldwin who bet 4,000. Shotwell raised to 9,000 and Baldwin called.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Shotwell bet 14,000. Baldwin collected his chips and slid forward a stack of chips for a bet of 62,000 which was for nearly all of Shotwell's chips who went into the tank. After about 30 seconds he found a call.

He saw the horrible news as Baldwin tabled the {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for the full boat which coolered the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} of Shotwell as he was left with very few chips while Baldwin shot up the charts.
