Hands #192-193: Billy Baxter Doubles Through John O'Shea

Hand #192  –  Eric Baldwin raises from early position to 250,000, winning the blinds and antes. Baldwin shows K-K as he collects the chips.

Hand #193  –  Phil Hellmuth limps from the button for 100,000, John O’Shea moves all in from the small blind, and Billy Baxter calls all in from the big blind. Hellmuth starts laughing, and folds.

O’Shea shows [3d3s], but he’s dominated by Baxter’s [AcAh]. Baxter is the shorter stack, so he’s looking to double up here.

The board comes [Js7h2c6dKd], and Baxter wins the pot with his pocket aces to double up in chips.

Billy Baxter  –  2,500,000  (25 bb)
John O’Shea  –  1,100,000  (11 bb)
Phil Hellmuth  –  205,000  (2 bb)

Hellmuth says he had [9h8h], and adds, "If I move in, they can go call, call, and check it down. When I limp, it gives me options If Billy doesn’t have a hand, I’m a favorite over two threes."
