Billy Baxter
Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Billy Baxter has been chipping up in two recent hands.

On the first, John Roveto bet out after the second draw, Baxter raised from the button, and Roveto called. Roveto took one card, announced he was checking dark on the last round before he looked at it, and Baxter stood pat. Baxter thought a moment, then checked behind. Baxter showed an 8-7-5-4-2, and Roveto showed the {A-Clubs} he'd picked up on that last draw.

On the second hand, Baxter stood pat on the second draw while Von Alitzer drew one card. Alitzer bet, and Baxter called. Both stood pat on the third draw, and again Alitzer bet and Baxter called. Alitzer announced she had an 8-6, Baxter turned over 8-6-4-3-2, and Alitzer tossed away her other three cards.

Baxter is now up to 47,500. Incidentally, all seven of his bracelets were in lowball games (deuce-to-seven, ace-to-five, and razz).
