Baker Hits Straight To Survive
Level 30
: Limits 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
David “ODB” Baker found himself all in as the short stack on the big blind.
Action folded to Raul Celaya in late position and he called with J?7?. The button folded, and John Armbrust raised after looking down at A?K?. With Baker already all in, the action returned to Celaya, who called.
The flop brought 10?K?6?. Armbrust bet, forcing Celaya out of the hand
Baker tabled Q?J? for an open-ended straight draw against Armbrust’s top pair. The turn provided A?, giving Baker the straight and Armbrust top two pair.
Baker needed to dodge Armbrust pairing either of his cards on the river, and he survived when 2? hit the board.
