Bakes Takes Some from Seidel
Erik Seidel -- introduced just now as an eight-time WSOP bracelet winner and "one of poker's funniest tweeters" -- opened with a raise from the cutoff to 30,000, then chip leader David Baker reraised to 100,000 from the button. The blinds got out, and the action was on Seidel.
The lanky New Yorker took three full minutes to decide what to do. Finally he called.
Seidel drew one, and Baker stood pat. Both players checked, and Baker tabled his -X-X-X. Seidel mucked and leaned forward on one arm, the delivery of humorous tweets clearly being the farthest thing from his mind.
Baker adds more to his chip leading total, now sitting with about 825,000. Meanwhile, Seidel has 250,000.
