No one will be more disappointed to hear about David Baker's elimination than his girlfriend Maria "maridu" Mayrinck. Although Maridu was on the rail for the first three days of the tournament as Baker built his stack, her professional obligations as a member of Team PokerStars Pro Brazil required her to fly down to Lima, Peru yesterday to play in the Latin American Poker Tour event there that starts tomorrow.
Maridu has been railing Baker long-distance by following along on PokerNews all day and tells us that she couldn't be prouder of her man.
"He's my hero," she said. "I'm crying, I'm so proud!"
