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.
