Hand #152 – Phil Hellmuth raises from middle position to 225,000, and Billy Baxter calls from the button. The flop comes [8h7d2c], Hellmuth checks, Baxter bets 300,000, and Hellmuth calls. Both players check the [Qc] on the turn and the [Ac] on the river. Hellmuth shows [JcJd] to win the pot, and Baxter mucks.
Hand #153 – John O’Shea raises from late position to 210,000, Eric Baldwin moves all in from the button for 1,285,000, and O’Shea tanks for a while before he calls with [10d10s]. Baldwin shows [JdJs], and he’s a big favorite to double up here.
The board comes [7s5h4hJc7h], and Baldwin wins the pot with his pocket jacks to double up in chips.
Eric Baldwin – 3,100,000 (38 bb)
John O’Shea – 1,820,000 (22 bb)
