[user66118]

After Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin opened with a raise, Ryan Schmidt moved all in behind him. When action got back to Baldwin, he made the call.

Schmidt's tournament life was on the line with {A-Hearts}

in a race against Baldwin's {6-Clubs}

.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}

, adding a straight draw to Baldwin's hand. The turn brought the {4-Clubs}

and eliminated a bunch of outs for Schmidt. The river was the {5-Diamonds}

and, although he didn't need it, Baldwin made a straight to eliminate Schmidt.

Schmidt will take home over $41,000 for his efforts. Baldwin moved up to about 1.575 million.
