Baker Finds The Call In Cooler Spot

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the big blind all-in and at risk for his last 58,000, Michael ''Mike'' Baker had a decision from under the gun, on a {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs} board. He had bet 4,500 on the turn when checked to and eventually found a call in response to the all-in after going deep into the tank.

Cards were on their backs and his opponent was surprised to find he was behind with {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} against Mike's {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The river {9-Hearts} didn't change a thing, moving the North Dakotan up the leaderboard with a little more cushion, while his opponent had to hit the rail.
