David ‘ODB’ Baker Eliminated in 7th Place ($34,000)
No Limit Hold’em
The start-of-the-day chip leader David ‘ODB’ Baker has been eliminated in epic fashion on the fourth hand of play as Steve Zolotow continues to soar at the 2021 U.S. Poker Open. The action folded to David ‘ODB’ Baker on the button who raised to 90,000 and Zolotow fought back from the small blind making it 270,000 to go.
Baker gave it little thought before sliding out 590,000 and Zolotow looked down at his stack before announcing “all in.” Baker quickly called and the cards were turned on their backs.
Baker: [AsAc]
Zolotow: [AhKh]
The flop brought out [3sTs8h] and Zolotow said, “Well, there’s one heart,” before the dealer put the [Jh] on the turn.
“And that’s two,” Zolotow continued as the tension rose.
The players at the table erupted in disbelief when the [Qh] hit the river as Zolotow hit his flush and sent Baker to the rail in seventh place.
