Baker Beats Hellmuth by One
Action folded around to David Baker on the button who made it 28,000 to go. Both Nick Schulman and Phil Hellmuth called from the small and big blinds respectively. Schulman and Hellmuth each took one while Baker opted to draw two.
After the draw, Schulman checked to Hellmuth who led out for 30,000. Baker made the call and Shulman folded.
"Jack-eight." announced Hellmuth, but unfortunately for Hellmuth, Baker tabled . Hellmuth angrily muttered some mix of profanity under his breath before saying "Nice hand, buddy" to Baker.
