Erik Seidel opened to 30,000 from middle position and both David Baker and Eric Cloutier made the call next to speak and from the big blind respectively.
Cloutier drew two while both Baker and Seidel drew one.
Cloutier checked, Seidel fired out 60,000 and Baker made the call before Cloutier took his time before announcing a re-raise to 300,000.
Seidel and Baker's cards quickly went into the muck to see Cloutier take the pot and move to 695,000 in chips.
Erik Seidel -- introduced just now as an eight-time WSOP bracelet winner and "one of poker's funniest tweeters" -- opened with a raise from the cutoff to 30,000, then chip leader David Baker reraised to 100,000 from the button. The blinds got out, and the action was on Seidel.
The lanky New Yorker took three full minutes to decide what to do. Finally he called.
Seidel drew one, and Baker stood pat. Both players checked, and Baker tabled his 
-X-X-X. Seidel mucked and leaned forward on one arm, the delivery of humorous tweets clearly being the farthest thing from his mind.
Baker adds more to his chip leading total, now sitting with about 825,000. Meanwhile, Seidel has 250,000.
On the first hand since the final seven was formed, the action folded round to Doug Booth in the small blind and he bumped it up to 34,000.
Erik Seidel in the big blind made the call with both players drawing one.
Both Booth and Seidel checked the action and Booth tabled his 
to take down the pot and climb to over the 400,000-chip mark.
David Baker has already had an impressive WSOP thus far this summer, with one big final table already -- a sixth-place finish in Event No. 2, the $50,000 Player’s Championship.
This marks the third cash at this year’s WSOP for the 23-year-old from Michigan, following up on four at the 2009 WSOP. In addition to his live scores, Baker also has numerous successes on his poker resume playing online, where he plays under the name “Whooookidd.”
It’s a common refrain at the World Series of Poker, uttered time and time again from the rail. And in the shoutbox. “Juanda again??” It does seem like John Juanda is turning up time and time again at WSOP final tables.
With four WSOP bracelets and 50-plus cashes in a wide variety of games, the 38-year-old California-based pro is one of the most respected players on the professional circuit. He has over $10 million in total career tourney winnings. This is Juanda's second straight final table at this same event -- he's looking to improve on his fourth-place finish one year ago.
Eric Kesselman is a 36-year-old hedge fund manager from New York City who started playing poker just five years ago. In his short career he has already won one WSOP bracelet in the $2,000 pot-limit hold’em event in 2006.
Kesselman has five WSOP cashes to his credit, including a final table, fourth-place finish in the $2,500 2-7 NL event in 2009.
George Danzer is a 27-year-old professional from Munich, Germany currently on hiatus from being a student in Freiburg. In addition to several cashes in European Poker Tour events, Danzer has many impressive big scores in online events as well.
This marks Danzer’s second WSOP final table, having finished ninth in the $1,500 PLO/8 event in 2007.
Eric Cloutier is perhaps best known to World Series of Poker fans for his fast start at last year’s Main Event, emerging as the chip leader in the early days of play.
The Louisiana-based player also scored a third-place finish at the 2010 WSOP Circuit Event at Harrah’s New Orleans just a month ago. Today marks Cloutier’s sixth WSOP cash.
Doug Booth is a 40-year-old salesman from Bowling Green, Kentucky who has been playing poker for nearly two decades.
Among Booth’s accomplishments are a 38th-place finish at the 2002 Main Event and one other WSOP final table in 2005 in the $5,000 buy-in version of this same event.
Erik Seidel hardly needs an introduction. With eight WSOP bracelets, Seidel is one of very few people with a legitimate chance at tying or breaking Phil Hellmuth’s record of 11.
Seidel’s most recent bracelet came in 2007 in the $5,000 buy-in version (with rebuys) of this same event. Seidel also went deep in the $1,500 Deuce-to-Seven Lowball (No-Limit) event this summer, finishing 14th.
