Baker Leads to Double Up
Level 33
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Shean Lai raised to 800,000 from under the gun and Derek Baker defended his big blind. The 4?A?6? flop saw Baker check-call a 400,000 continuation-bet from Lai before the J? turn was dealt.
Baker then promptly shoved all in for 3,950,000. Lai asked for a count and committed a call not long after.
Derek Baker: J?6?
Shean Lai: A?8?
Baker had turned two pair and had taken the initiative with his over-bet. The 5? river did not upgrade Lai's hand, and most of his stack went Baker's way, who ended up with an eight-figure stack.
