Baker Cooks Up a Number Two

David Baker had stopped his southward chip trajectory to the cost of some of Nam Le's stack.

Le opened from the hijack and called when Baker three-bet from the next seat. Le drew one to one to Baker's two and then bet 4,000. Call.

Le stood pat and Baker drew one. Le fired out for 8,000 and Baker called. Both stood pat and Le check-called 8,000 from baker.

"Number two," said Baker and opened {7-} {4-} {2-} {3-} {6-} .

"F##K!" responded Le and mucked.
