Brikis Bakes a Double
Level 7

It was a board of , and it looked like the action went check-check on the turn, though we're not positive. In any event, the river saw David Baker check, and Brikis bet 5,300 into a pot of just more than that. Baker craned his neck to eye up Brikis' remaining stack (7,800 behind) before check-raising big. Brikis dumped his last chips into the pot, and Baker tabled for the trip nines. Brikis had that beat; he turned up for the nut trips, and he's found a double up back over starting stack. He's at about 32,000 now, as he and Baker essentially trade stacks.
