Salsberg Doubles Through Baldwin

Eric Baldwin raised it up to 11,000 in early position, and it folded around to Matt Salsberg, who went all in for 59,500. Baldwin went deep into the tank, and after a couple minutes of crunching the numbers, slid in the chips to make the call. The cards were tabled, and we had a race on our hands.

Baldwin: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Salsberg: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Baldwin's low pair was in the lead, but it wouldn't last long, as the dealer put out a flop of {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. The turn came the {10-Clubs}, and the river brought the {9-Clubs}. Saldsberg collected the double up, and now both players are virtually even in chips.
