Off to the Races for 300K

PLH

We're not sure of the exact action preflop, but we do know a series of raises and reraises resulted in David Lestock being all in for 143,000 and called by David "ODB" Baker. As you might expect, it was a race.

Baker: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Lestock: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Baker stood from his chair, knowing this was likely one of those tournament defining moments. A flash of relief washed over his face when the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop missed his opponent. Just as Baker was about to relax in his chair, the dealer burned and turned the {A-Hearts}.

Baker kept his composure, but the expression on his face was one of extreme disappointment. The {7-Spades} river changed nothing as Lestock doubled to nearly 300K.
