Action folded the Brandon Hall in the small blind and he raised to 90,000. Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin reraised to 235,000 from the big blind. This marked the third time Baldwin has three-bet Hall since coming back from the deal talks. Hall made the call this time. The last two times, Hall let Baldwin take down the pot preflop.

The flop came {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and Hall checked. Baldwin opted to slow down and checked behind.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}. Hall fired 145,000. Baldwin made the call and the pot grew to over three-quarters of a million.

The river completed the board with the {5-Spades}. Hall fired 350,000. Baldwin took a breath and then announced a call. Hall tabled {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} for a straight. Baldwin tabled {10-Spades} {6-Spades} for the same straight and the two players chopped up the pot.
