Huge congratulations to David Baker, 2+2’s own “Bakes”, who took down the WSOP 2-7 NL event last night. For those who don’t know, this is a 5-card draw game where the objective is to make the low hand. Aces are high and straights and flushes count against you, meaning that 23457 is the nuts (hence the name 2-7). In this format, it’s played with a single draw and with no limit to the betting.
I’ve never played the game myself, and apparently Bakes has only been playing it for six months!
I’m particularly happy for the guy since I brutally cold-decked him, AA>KK, at the final table of the FTOPS 2K event that I went on to win. Of course, I felt only so bad because Bakes final tables major events like once a week.
They may not look like much, but this is millions of dollars of top poker talent helping him celebrate:
who are we looking at around him?
I can’t identify all of them, but you’ve got Yellowsub, SuperfluousMan, FatalError, Augie, CKing, Vanessa Selbst, and a few I don’t know by name. Sorry if 2+2/internet handles are meaningless to you, I know even fewer by their real names.
Yellowsub = Jeff Williams right…?
He is not here
Congrats Bakes.
Br br bring it to bogue.
Dont forget yo roots.
