Baker Jumps Out of the Gate

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We just caught the tail end of the pot, walking up as the dealer put the last card down on a {2-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {7-Spades} {9-Spades} board. Amanda Baker was first to act from the blinds, and she shoved all in for 3,400 into a pot of about 7,500. Her opponent called off all but the last 400 of his own chips, and Baker tabled {10-Spades} {6-Spades} for the flush.

It was good, and she's doubled up to 14,000 here in the early going.
