"I Got This"
When we arrived at Table 447, David "Bakes" Baker had open in front of him in stud eight-or-better hand. We're not sure what the betting was, or in what order Baker received his cards, but his opponent, Phil Hellmuth, was none too please to see Bake's hand.
"Buddy," Hellmuth said after mucking. "I make it in the money in Stud 8 every year."
Bakes didn't respond.
"These f***in' bad players," Hellmuth muttered under his breath.
Andrew Brown jumped into the mix, saying he had the same cards as Baker, and Baker finally piped up.
"I forsaw only good things," he announced.
Hellmuth proceeded to get up and go for a walk, and upon returning, he told his parents, who have been railing him all day, "I got this!"
