Baker’s Gamble Pays Off
Level 5
Omaha Hi-Lo
A player raised from under the gun and was called by David "Bakes" Baker in middle position. Naoya Kihara three-bet from the cutoff and action folded back to the original raiser, who called. Baker said, “Let’s gamble!” and made it four bets to go. Both his opponents called.
Action checked through on the 9?9?8? flop and 4? turn, but Baker led out for a bet after being checked to a third time on the J? river.
Kihara looked him up and Baker turned over A?6?3?2? for a flush. Kihara sent his hand into the muck and Baker padded his stack.
