Nice Call Reults in Baldwin Double

Eric Baldwin
Eric Baldwin

With around 28,000 in the pot and a board reading {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}, McLean Karr bet 16,700 and was called by Eric Baldwin, who left himself just 22,900 behind. When the {6-Clubs} peeled off on the river, Karr thought for a moment before making a bet large enough to put his opponent all in.

Baldwin snap-called and showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, which was good against the {A-}{K-} of Karr. Interestingly, the black pocket nines is the same hand Phil Hellmuth used to win the 1989 WSOP Main Event; coincidentally, both Baldwin and Hellmuth are from Wisconsin. If you're looking for useless, yet fun, trivia, there you have it!
