Hand #139 - David Baker Doubles Through Ram Vaswani

Hand #139 - Ram Vaswani has the button in seat 8, he raises to 20,000, and Baker calls from the big blind. The flop comes {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, and Baker is quickly all in with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} -- a pair of fives and an open-ended straight draw. Vaswani shows {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens, and Baker needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn card is the {8-Hearts}, and the river card is -- the {9-Hearts}. Baker rivers a nine-high straight to win the pot and double up to about 80,000 in chips.
