No-Limit Hold'em

David "ODB" Baker raised to 2,700 from early position and Phil Hellmuth called from the next seat. Chris Klodnicki called from the small blind, as did Daniel Negreanu from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} and Klodnicki checked. Negreanu went all in for his last 1,200 and was called by Baker. Hellmuth, though, popped it to 5,500. Klodnicki wasn't going anywhere, though, and re-raised to 17,000. Baker called once again, Hellmuth folded, and the {7-Clubs} hit the turn.

Both Klodnicki and Baker checked to see the {8-Diamonds} river where Klodnicki checked once again. Baker bet 23,000 and after about a minute in the tank, Klodnicki folded. Baker tabled {A-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight and Negreanu couldn't beat it, ending his tournament.
