On third street, Mike Leah completes and Maksim Pisarenko makes it two bets to go. David “Bakes” Baker then makes it three to go, which Leah calls. Pisarenko is hesitant but tosses in a call.

The players check fourth and fifth streets before Pisarenko bets his open two pair on sixth. Both opponents call.

On seventh, Pisarenko checks, as does Baker. Leah now bets and after some thought, Pisarenko folds. Baker makes the call showing his seven low for half the pot, while Leah takes the high half with tens and sevens.

David “Bakes” Baker – 188,000
