Baker Still Cooking
We're down to just seven tables' worth of players, and David Baker is still alive, thereby continuing his remarkable 2010 WSOP.
A look at the 2010 WSOP Player of the Year standings shows a couple of David Bakers in the top 20 in points. There's David "Bakes" Baker, winner of the $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball event earlier this summer who also cashed in three other events -- not to be confused with the David Baker still with chips here in the Main Event.
Our David Baker's presence way up on the WSOP POY page is testament to his achievements this summer, with six cashes and two final tables:
Event #7, $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball -- 11th place ($9,972)
Event #13, $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em -- 3rd ($206,813)
Event #23, $2,500 Limit Hold'em -- 34th ($5,202)
Event #29, $10,000 Limit Hold'em -- 11th ($32,614)
Event #37, $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. -- 6th ($50,871)
Event #51, $3,000 Triple Chance No-Limit Hold'em -- 68th ($7,457)
Baker has a little under 2 million chips at the moment -- a bit below average, but still plenty with which to work.
