Baker Busto

Having avoided getting involved (correctly) in another large hand just moments earlier and called over Greg Mueller from the next table over to tell him about it ("I tried to bust me...I folded pre though") David Baker did in fact bust himself in dramatic fashion.
Daniel Steinberg was the very player who was the loser in the previous Big Hand (Hoyt Corkins doubling up with a flopped set of Aces with Steinberg going for it with the 
when a second heart turned on a 
turn but missing the river). He made the first raise preflop to 9,500, and Baker raised to 26k. Back to Steinberg who sat still for a while, showing no agitation, but finally fourbetting Baker. Baker moved in quickly and was called even more quickly, and he had to face the bad news:
Baker: 
Steinberg: 
Mueller got to hear about it first, "He's a maniac," lamented Baker, "And he has to have the Aces..."
His poor timing seemed suddenly to have been a blessing in disguise as he flopped a set on the 
flop, but the turn was the 
and the river the 
bringing runner-runner flush for one of Steinberg's Aces.
