Basebaldy Busts One
There was 1,000 in the middle and three players still with cards -- one in the big blind, one UTG, and Eric "Basebaldy" Baldwin in middle position. The flop had come 
, the BB checked, and there was a pause while the table waited for the next player to act.
Finally he pushed out a bet of 650. Baldwin studied for a moment, then raised to 1,300. The BB folded, and Baldwin's opponent announced he was all in. Baldwin immediately called, flipping over 
for a set of fives. His opponent turned over 
.
The turn was the 
and the river the 
, and Baldwin was best. After a counting out of chips it was determined Baldwin had his opponent covered, and so while Basebaldy gathered up the chips, his opponent gathered his belongings and headed toward the exit.
Baldwin is pushing up close to 13,000 now.
