[user20283]

Nível 2 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The river brought the and Baldwin quickly bet enough to put Steven all in for 175,500.

Steven, visibly frustrated with the pressure he was under on the river, said after a while, "What the heck do you have?"

Baldwin remained silently tucked away under his visor, as Steven requested to use his time bank card.

"We could have the same hand," Steven said after a while, as he went on to mutter under his breath while using up two additional one-minute time cards.

In the dying seconds of Steven's final time card he folded, and Baldwin quietly raked in the chips without showing his cards.

"I guess I should've checked the turn," Steven sighed as the next hand was dealt, but he did not get a response from Baldwin who's now among the bigger stacks in the room.

The flop showed when Dong Kim bet 13,500 from the under-the-gun position and Ben Lamb called from the hijack after which Daniel Negreanu called from the cutoff.

The turn was the and the action checked to Negreanu who bet 36,000, and Kim folded right away. Lamb made the call and on the river the hit.

Lamb decided to lead for 77,000 and Negreanu immediately said, "He's trying to say that he has ace-king, but maybe he's got eight-nine and he can't win."

Negreanu cackled, as Lamb remained stone-faced, before ultimately folding his cards.

"Good hand," Negreanu said.

"Thanks," Lamb replied as he raked in the pot.

Lamb also won the very next hand of Kim, and that puts him at 630,000 chips already.
