Baker Shoves into Trips

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

David "ODB" Baker acted first preflop and he kicked off with a raise to 700. Two players called him, the cutoff and the button.

Baker checked the {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades} texture and the cutoff fired 1,500. The player next to him folded but Baker slid forward a huge pile of chips, covering his opponent's remaining stack. It was an easy situation for Baker's rival who had a trey in his hand, tabling {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Baker trailed with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} and needed some backdoor help to scoop or at least get a chop. The {A-Hearts} turn gave Baker a low draw. He could scoop the pot with a queen or the last ace on the river, but the {9-Spades} didn't improve Baker's hand so he had to concede 5,800 in chips.
