Justin Liberto: XxXx/Kx2x - folded on fourth street
Chris Hundley: 7x10xQx/3xKx4x4x
David "ODB" Baker: Ax8xKx/Kx7xAx9x
With all players showing a king, Hundley bet on fourth street to set himself to get all in on fifth. Liberto folded, leaving Baker to make the final decision.
He muttered oaths to himself, he asked the pot to be spread so he could count it, he counted his own stack, all while trying to see the end game, whether his fortune lay better by calling or folding. Eventually he called, then bet fifth to put Hundley all in. Baker paired his king to match his ace in the hole, and Hundley's queen low was enough to survive.

Chris Hundley completed and was called by David "ODB" Baker.

David "ODB" Baker: XxXx/3x5x9x8x/Xx
On one of the first hands following the dinner break, a refreshed Baker looked to rebuild his stack, while Liberto hoped to extend the chip lead he had amassed.
