Zaichenko Dented, Baxter in the Danger Zone

We picked up a three-way pot as an unknown player (Player 1) called the bring-in with the {8-Clubs} showing. Katie Baxter raised with the {4-Spades}, Andrey Zaichenko called with the {5-Spades}, and Player 1 called with his eight up.

Player 1: (x-x) / {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts} / (x)
Baxter: (x-x) / {4-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} / (x)
Zaichenko: (x-x) / {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} / (x)

Baxter bet her lead on fourth street, then called three streets of bets from Zaichenko. Player 1 called him down, too, and the cards were on their backs.

Player 1: {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} / {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Baxter: {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} / {4-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Zaichenko: {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} / {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

Zaichenko announced his "Aces up," first, and that cued Baxter to show her superior set of queens. Neither of them could beat Player 1's flush, though, and they both quickly mucked their cards and sent their chips across the felt.

Baxter has dipped back under starting stack with that slide.
