We didn't see how it happened, but now there is only one David Baker left in the field, and that's the original David Baker. Looks like David "Bakes" Baker will have to wait for another tournament to make a deep run in, because he's no longer among the field here on Day 1.
We didn't see the action of the hand, but at the end of it, Paul Tedeschi was scooping up a 20,000 chip pot after rivering the nut flush with .
"So that's how you do it?" someone at the table asked Tedeschi who remained silent.
"The kids been running over us all day," Raymond Davis, who was also sitting at the table, said. Apparently when Tedeschi came to the table he had about 30,000 chips before running it down to about 10,000 then back up to what it is now. After knocking out Owais Ahmed and this new player, Tedeschi definitely holds the title of chip leader in the room, by a margin of at least 20,000.
"I'm willing to be he can walk on water," Davis said about Tedeschi.
Tedeschi just stayed quiet and stacked his newly found chips.
We joined the action on a board where David Baker was all in against Damon Singer. Eventually, after around 60 seconds of thinking, Singer called to put Baker at risk.

The river was the and both players chopped the pot.
