Big Stacks Collide
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Two of the biggest stacks left in this tournament, owned by Ernest Ward and David Baker, got into a massive hand, as Ward took Baker to value town.
On a board reading 7♣9♦2♦ Baker had bet out for 40,000, but saw a raise from Ernest Ward to 100,000. That was Baker's last aggressive action of the hand, as after calling the flop, he check-called a bet of 215,000 on the K♥ turn. For a second time, on the 2♠ river he check-called Ward's bet, this time for 350,000.
"Sevens full" announced Ward, as Baker mucked what he told the table was aces.
