Baldwin Takes a Different Route

Eric Baldwin
Eric Baldwin

Eric Baldwin raised from middle position and then Mel Judah called. The player in the big blind, David Thomas, made the call as well and all three of them were off to a flop. The first three community cards were the {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Thomas checked. Baldwin bet and Judah folded, having only a few thousand chips left. Thomas stuck around with a call though.

The turn added the {J-Spades} to the board and paired it with jacks. Thomas check-called a second bet from Baldwin. The river card then completed the board with the {3-Clubs}. Thomas checked, Baldwin bet and Thomas called.

Baldwin announced that he had jacks full and tabled the {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Indeed he did have jacks full of threes and Thomas mucked his hand.

"Well, that's a different hand, Eric," said Phil Hellmuth. "You must not play this game as well as you play no-limit, huh?"

"Or I play it as bad as I play no-limit," responded Baldwin, referencing the few times when Hellmuth has made remarks about how Baldwin plays no-limit.

Baldwin's up to 42,000 now.
