We caught the action on the flop with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} on the table. David "Bakes" Baker (under-the-gun plus one) checked to Michael Shelton (hijack) who bet 10,500. Baker made the call and check-called another 17,500 from Shelton on the {10-Hearts} turn. The river was the {8-Spades} and Baker checked for a third time. Shelton bet out 26,000 and Baker paused for a second before announcing all in for 120,000 more.

Shelton had a tough decision. "I was supposed to check on the river" he said with a mysterious smirk. He thought about it for a while before tossing in a 500 chip to indicate the call. Baker showed his {J-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Shelton had to muck. "I was supposed to check on the river" he stated one more time. Shelton has to continue with just 21,500 in chips.
