Baron Doing Great

Isaac Baron has been doing very well of late, seeing his chip stack rise above 70,000. We recently watched a hand involving Baron that started with the hijack player opening the pot to 800. The player on the button made the call, along with Baron in the small blind. On the {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Baron checked and the hijack shoved all in for 6,450. The button player called and so too did Baron.

The {3-Hearts} turn would see Baron lead for 13,000 and the button player get out of the way as the all-in player and Baron would turn over their cards.

Baron: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
All-in Player: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Baron was too far in front for his opponent to come back, scooping up the pot as a {8-Hearts} on the river was too little too late.
