Baldwin Not Slowing Down

First in from the button, Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin limped into the pot, and both Robert Mizrachi and Chase Steely came along to a cheap flop.

It brought {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Spades}, and Mizrachi grabbed control with a bet of 55,000. Steely didn't waste much time making the call, but Baldwin had loftier intentions. He stacked out a re-raise to 162,000 and spilled it forward into the middle of the table. Mizrachi put in the call while Steely thought it best to duck out of the way.

The turn brought the {A-Clubs}, and Mizrachi tapped the felt. Baldwin kept the heat on with a healthy bet of 337,000, and that was enough to send the message to Mizrachi, and he chose to save his 1.7 million chips for a better spot. That pot bumps Baldwin back over the 2-million-chip mark with about 2,150,000.
