Jun 17, '10
Baldwin’s Kings Cracked in Third Place ($248,265)
William Haydon moved all in from the small blind and Joe Baldwin had to be pleased to look down and see K
K
. He called, and Haydon showed A
7 and was calling for an ace.
He got one. The flop came AQ3 and he took the lead. He never lost it.
The turn was the 8 and the river brought the 9
, and Baldwin was the third-place finisher, winning $248,265.
With that, they were down to two players — Haydon and Jeffrey Papola. Haydon had around 7.3 million chips to Papola’s 1.9 million.
Papola Meets Broadway, Out in 2nd Place ($391,068)
Not long into their heads up battle, Jeffrey Papola moved all in and William Haydon made the call. Their cards:
Haydon: AJ
Papola: A6
Papola was in bad shape and the KQ4 flop didn’t help. The board finished with the 9 and the 10, giving Haydon the unnecessary broadway straight and his first WSOP title. He earned $630,031 for the win.
Papola took second place and $391,068.

Solomon Busts in 5th Place ($110,903)
Play was 5-handed for nearly four hours before another player was lost. That player was Jarred Solomon.
Solomon moved all in for just over 1 million from the button and Joe Baldwin took a moment to think it over, then called. Their hands:
Solomon: K10
Baldwin: AQ
The board ran AJ642 and Solomon missed everything, busting in 5th place and winning $110,903.
Baldwin was the new chip leader with 3.7 million in chips.
Scharf Runs Into Aces, Out in 4th ($163,649)
Eddy Scharf was the short stack at the table when he pushed all in from under the gun. Unfortunately for him, Jeffrey Papola woke up with a monster. Papola re-raised all in over the top and everyone folded. Their hands:
Scharf: QJ
Papola: AA
On a flop of 84J Scharf had some outs, and the 9 turn gave him some more. But the river blanked with a 5 and Scharf was the 4th-place finisher, winning $163,649.
Action was down to 3-handed. Papola exploded to 3.3 million in chips, which was good for second place, just behind Joe Baldwin’s 3.8 million and well ahead of William Haydon’s 1.9 million.
