Level 21 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

David "ODB" Baker limped in on the button with J9 before calling a raise to 32,000 from Phil Hellmuth in the big blind, who was holding 94.

Both players flopped top pair on the 968 flop, and Hellmuth continued for 30,000. Once again, Baker called.

Hellmuth slowed down on the 2 turn, prompting Baker to bet 70,000. With little hesitation, Hellmuth responded by moving all in for 240,000, covering Baker's stack by just a few thousand.

Baker went deep into the tank, utilising multiple time extensions before incorrectly releasing his cards back to the dealer.
