Baxter Gets Some Back

Shamus

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Billy Baxter had a rough start today to slip under 2,000, but just now earned a few back in a three-way hand involving Justin Bonomo.

After Bonomo had opened from early position, Baxter three-bet, his neighbor the left called the reraise, and Bonomo called as well. Baxter then stood pat through all three draws while Bonomo and the third player drew two cards twice and then just one.

Both of Baxter's opponents called his bets after the first two draws, but only Bonomo with a bit of reluctance called the final bet. Baxter quickly tabled a number four — — and Bonomo mucked.
