Ladouceur Doubles Through Baker

David ODB Baker popped it up to 80,000 from middle position. Action folded to Marc Ladouceur's button and he three-bet all in for 730,000. It folded back to Baker who quickly called to find out that the two were in the classic race situation.

Ladouceur: {Q-}{Q-}
Baker: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board gave Ladouceur a set of queens and left Baker looking for a jack to make Broadway when it fell {7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} dropped down on the turn and the {K-Spades} on the river, securing Ladouceur's double to about 1,500,000 in chips.
