Eric Baldwin Eliminated in Fourth Place
Saturday, October 10, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
Once play resumed there weren’t many major confrontations before Brandon Hall and Eric Baldwin contested a huge pot. Hall opened for 90,000, Baldwin re-raised to 275,000 and Hall moved in for almost 1.4 million. Baldwin had Hall’s stack counted down, ran the numbers in his head, and announced a call.
Eric’s Ac-10 needed help against Hall’s Jh-Js and he found none on the Q-9-7-3-9 board, and that hand doubled Hall to nearly 3 million and left Baldwin with just 200,000 chips.
Which he quickly ran up to 700,000 with double-ups against Hall and Robert Mizrachi, and it looked like Baldwin would double again when he was again all in with Mizrachi holding A-Q to Mizrachi’s A-7. But the flop came 4s-7s-2c, and when the turn and river didn’t bring a Queen Baldwin was out in fourth place, good for a $126,710 payday.
