Baker Back Above Starting
David "Bakes" Baker has been relatively short for much of the day but just won a large three-way pot to move back over starting stack.
Baker opened to 1,500 from middle position and was called by a player in middle position. Jane Hitchcock then three-bet to 3,300 out of the small blind, receiving calls from both of her opponents.
Hitchcock continued for 5,000 on the 7?7?8? flop but was unable to shake off either of her opponents as both Baker and the middle position player made the call.
The Q? turn saw Hitchcock bet again, this time pushing 5,100 into the middle. Again, both of her opponents called.
Hitchcock slowed down following the Q? river, checking to Baker who bet 15,000. The middle position player vacated the pot while Hitchcock snapped off the bet with AxAx. Baker had her beat, however, as he held 8?8? for the turned boat to scoop a big pot.
