Baker 'Setting' Her Sights on a Final Table

Amanda Baker just doubled through to 5,900 in chips after flopping a set against five other preflop contenders.

An opponent made it 200 to go from under-the-gun and got two callers before the action reached Baker in the cutoff, who made the call. Both blinds joined in the fun and the action went six-handed to the {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop.

Four checks sent the action to a player in late position who led out with a 300 bet. Baker, next to act, kicked it up to 1,025 and everyone folded back around to the original better who made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs}, and after a check from her opponent, Baker moved all in for her remaining 1,275. A call was made and the cards revealed:

Baker: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The river delivered the {K-Spades} giving Baker a full house, subsequently securing her double up.
