"I Wasn't Expecting That"

We caught the action with 13,000 in the pot and a board reading {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} when Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin bet a modest 3,000 into East Coast grinder Terry Grimes. The latter made the call and then watched Baldwin bet 6,600 on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Grimes responded with a raise to 16,000, which prompted Baldwin to lean back and say, "I wasn't expecting that." The Wisconsinite thought for about 40 second before tossing in a call, but mucked when Grimes rolled over {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.
