Eric Baldwin raised from under the gun and James Chen called one seat over. Baldwin bet the J85 flop, Chen raised, and Baldwin called, leaving just a single 5K chip behind. The 4 on the turn got quickly checked by both players.

Baldwin checked the J river and Chen flicked in a single 5K chip, which prompted some chuckles from the table. After some thought, Baldwin reluctantly flicked in his final chip and Chen rolled over AQJ7 for three jacks and an eighty-seven low.

"Good game, nice hand," Baldwin said, who mucked A4KQ.
