Houston Baker, who knocked out MSPT regular Hank Mlekoday earlier in the tournament, limped from UTG, and Kenny Hallaert raised to 10,000. Action folded back to Baker, who called.

The flop was checked by Houston, and Hallaert bet 10,000. Baker made the call.

The turn saw Houston lead out for 15,000. Hallaert thought for a moment, then kicked his hand away, shipping the pot to Baker.

Houston Baker - 190,000 (79 bb)
Kenny Hallaert - 110,000 (46 bb)
