Craig Gray Eliminates David Baker

Hot on the heels of his elimination of Scott Dorin, Craig Gray just busted David Baker. In a battle of the blinds Gray raised to 15,000 and Baker moved all in. Gray made the call with {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs}, dominating Baker's {A-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Both players flopped an ace and when the board paired sevens on the turn there was the added chance of a chop, but the {2-Hearts} hit on the river and Baker's day came to an end. Gray now has around 600,000.
