Baldwin Hits Into a Double Play

Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin
Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin

Eric Baldwin raised to 2,000 from late position, and the player in the cutoff seat called. The small blind wanted to play for more though, and he squeezed in a reraise to 8,000. Baldwin four-bet to 20,000, the monkey in the middle folded, and the small blind shoved his last 38,000 in there.

Showdown
Baldwin: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Big blind: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

There would be no knockout ace for Baldwin. The board came {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}, and he's going to have to ship some double-up chips. "Basebaldy" is down to 33,000 now after dropping more than half his stack to Big Slick.
