We Are In The Money

Pat yourselves on the back Day 1 entrants. Somehow you have managed to carve the field down from 2,795 to 297 with still one level remaining on the first day. We did not catch the bubble boy but we did catch Mandy Baker put into a spot nobody wants to be in.

With 298 players on the clock and only 297 players getting paid Mandy Baker was involved in a hand. The action had reached the river on a board of {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {A-Clubs}, her opponent had bet 5,500 and Baker had raised to 12,000 on the button. Her opponent was in the tank when we arrived, and when he surfaced he decided that it was an opportunity to apply maximum pressure. He moved all-in and Baker was left looking she would have egg on her face. After several minutes thought Baker, through an almost inaudible croak, announced call and turned over {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for two-pair. Her opponent turned over {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and Baker, who was shivering like a naked Penguin, was up to 80,000.
