Falcaro Doubles Through Baker

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jason Baker raised to 70,000 from the button and Claudio Falcaro re-raised all in from the big blind. Baker made the call and found that his {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} was ahead of Falcaro's {a-Spades}{4-Spades}. The flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} gave Falcaro a straight draw, but the {a-Hearts} on the turn gave him top pair. The {k-Spades} came on the river and Falcaro doubled up.

Falcaro now has around 655,000 while Baker, who earlier had a huge chip lead over the other players, now sits at 480,000.
