Seth Baker Picks Up Kings
Aug 01, '14
We missed the exact action preflop, but Seth Baker got all in preflop against Shooter Hempkins and another player with fewer chips. Baker tabled KK, Hempkins showed 77 and the third player tabled AJ.
“I only looked at one, but I would have put it in there anyway,” said the player with A-J.
The flop kept Baker in the lead as the dealer spread 862, but he had to sweat a few more cards when Hempkins picked up a straight draw on the turn with the 5. The river was the 2 though, and Baker almost tripled up while sending a player home in the process.
Baker sits with 33,000 while Hempkins dropped to 14,500.

Shooter Hempkins Makes a Straight Agaisnt Campanello
Aug 01, '14
On the river, Bryan Campanello bet 4,200 with the board reading Q93KJ and was immediately met with a raise to 9,500 from Shooter Hempkins. Campanello was in the tank for a few minutes while playing with his chips.
“You could be bluffing,” said Campanello to Hempkins as he contemplated his decision.
Campanello tossed the extra 5,300 high into the air and splashed the pot and Hempkins showed K10, giving him a straight to take the pot. Campanello mucked his hand as he slipped to 7,300. Hempkins climbs to 43,000 as he raked in his newly acquired chips.
