Bakes Chasing Kid Poker

With Daniel Negreanu leading the Player of the Year standings heading into the 2013 World Series of Poker, after his big win down under, David "Bakes" Baker had his work cut for him if he hoped to claim this prestigious prize.
Four final tables, seven cashes, and a beastly run through the WSOP later, and "Bakes" is hot on the heels of "Kid Poker."
With a 6th place finish here in the $2,500 Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event, which would mark Baker's fifth final table in as many weeks on poker's premier stage, the wunderkind would likely surpass Negreanu's point total.
Baker has been focused throughout this two day run, and with his stack far above the average at the moment, there is little doubt "Bakes" is capable of catching Negreanu by the time the series comes to a close.
