Baker Wheels it to Win
Action picked up on the flop with a board showing 3♦Q♦4♣ in a multi-way hand between three-time WSOP bracelet winner David "ODB" Baker, who was in late position, a player on the button and two other opponents.
Baker bet 1,500, which received a call from the player on the button and forced out the other players.
The dealer placed 2♦ on the board, and Baker led out with a 3,500 bet, which the player on the button immediately called. The pot quickly grew to a little more than 12,000.
The 5♣ arrived on the turn and Baker sized down to a bet of 2,100. The player on the button looked across the table at Baker’s wager, and then called.
Baker tabled A♥3♥ for the straight and the player on the button acknowledged Baker’s hand by nodding his head. The player on the button then turned his cards face up to reveal Q♥2♥ for two pair, which was no good.
