Baldwin Hit With a Six

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

When we got to the table, the board read {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and a player in middle position had a bet of 300 in front of him. Eric Baldwin then made a reraise to 800 and was called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the player first to act immediately bet out 1,000. This put Baldwin in the tank and prompted him to ask, "Did the six hit you?"

"Yes, I show it," the other player said. "I have a set of sixes."

After some thought Baldwin bet enough to put the other player all in for 3,325 and was quickly met with a call. Baldwin held {A-Hearts}{k-Clubs} but he needed to catch up against his opponents {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and the flush was good enough to scoop the pot.

"The six really did hit you," Baldwin said after the hand as he dropped to just under starting stack.
