Baker Chops

Level 4

Stud-8

David Baker completed and was called by three players; one of which was Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu would drop out on fourth street as the unknown player took the lead with a bet when he made a pair of fives. Three people to fifth would be reduced to two, as Baker saw smoothed an 800-chip bet before raising to two-bets on sixth.

His opponent made the call, and then check-called seventh as each player's boards read as follows.

Baker: (X)(X) / {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / {8-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} (folded on fifth)
Negreanu: (X)(X) / {7-Hearts} {3-Spades} (folded on fourth)

Baker tabled his {6-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} for a low, and when his opponent tabled his {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Spades} , the pot was chopped up as Baker moved to 51,000 in chips.
