Basebaldy Doubles a Short Stack

Eric Baldwin limped from middle position and the called a raise to 700 from the player on the button. When the flop came down {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Baldwin led out with a bet big enough to put his short-stacked opponent all in. A call was made and the cards were turned up.

Baldwin: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Button: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Baldwin was in big trouble against the button's top set and flush redraw. The dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades}, which changed little. The {Q-Hearts} on the river meant the button scooped the pot, leaving Baldwin with 3,000.
