Baker Almost Gets "Zero-Outered"
We didn't see how the betting went down, but a doozy of a hand just developed when David Baker and Roger Easterday got all in and were at risk against the superior stack of Tom Schneider.
Shneider:
Easterday:
Baker:
It was a sick hand with Baker way out in front. The flop gave Baker trips and left Easterday drawing dead; however, with two spades on the flop, Schneider had a runner-runner flush opportunity. Baker's face fell when the was put out on the river, making the long shot that much closer to happening.
The dealer burned and put out the ! Baker cringed in agony . . . "Wait," he said, "It paired the board." The realization that he'd made a full house and could beat Schneider's flush dawned on him and Baker was all smile.
Easterday was eliminated on the hand while Schneider followed him out the door a few hands later.
