Eric Baldwin Eliminated in 16th Place ($5,763)
While aces were an undoing for Ryan Gentry on that last hand, they were a godsend on the very next hand. Eric Baldwin opened the action to 37,000, and Gentry, who was next to act, three bet to 70,000. It folded back around to Baldwin, who took about 30 seconds before putting in a four bet to 122,000. The action was now on Gentry, who counted out raising chips, and put in a five bet to 247,000! Baldwin took only about 10 seconds to move all in, and Gentry snap called. It was fairly obvious what the situation was, and unfortunately for Baldwin, he was on the wrong side of the preflop cooler.

, and Baldwin was still in trouble. The 
on the turn didn't help, nor did the 
, and just like that, Baldwin hit the rail. Meanwhile, Gentry is right back up to where he was before the hand with Kuether, sitting at 800,000.
