Two-Bagger for basebaldy

Eric Baldwin
Eric Baldwin

Two undercards were good enough for a double-up for Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin.

A player in middle position opened to 18,000 and action folded to Baldwin in the small blind who shoved for 143,000. Action folded back to the original raiser who called and the hands were opened:

Middle position: {10-}{10-}
Baldwin: {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} flop was fortuitous for Baldwin, but the {6-Spades} on the turn gave his opponent a gut-shot straight draw. The river blanked, the {3-Spades}, and Baldwin was shipped the pot doubling to 280,000 chips.
