Baker Burnt

The small remainder of David Baker's once mighty stack was all in the pot preflop, and he was looking for a triple up against Casey McCarrel and Chuck Danielsson.

The flop came down {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} with a potential side pot brewing. Both players checked that flop, though, and when McCarrel made one bet on the {Q-Spades} turn, Danielsson quickly open-mucked his pocket kings. Baker was at risk, the betting was closed, and the cards were turned up:

Baker: {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
McCarrel: {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}

It was quite a sweat for Baker as he had flopped pair and a flush draw but was still trailing McCarrel's top pair. The river was the {Q-Clubs}, and Baker was unable to find any of his out cards to stay alive. He's out, moving McCarrel up to 89,000 and leaving Danielsson with just 10,000 little chips in front of him.
