Runner-Runner Good Enough for Baker

We imagine that Mandy Baker didn't necessarily anticipate her last pot developing the way it did. She was the only player to call a bet of 2,900 made by the small blind on a flop of {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}. The turn was the {10-Clubs}, which Baker took the opportunity to bet (for 5,000) after the small blind checked. That player called, then check-called another 8,000 on the {9-Diamonds} river. Baker turned up {10-Spades} {9-Spades}, a running two pair that bested her opponent's {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}.

Baker is up to 44,000.
