2012 WSOP: DAY 26 RECAP - DAVID BAKER RULES! FIRST BAKES, NOW ODB


EVENT #37 |
2,500 EIGHT-GAME MIX |
477 ENTRIES | 1.08M PRIZEPOOL


Only a few days after David Baker won a bracelet, David Baker won a bracelet!

After David "Bakes" Baker won his second bracelet, it's time for David "ODB" Baker (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 13th) to win the career bracelet #1!

It took years for Baker to get here - his first live tournament cash came way back in 1993 at the Circus Circus Open in Reno! - but it most certainly was worth the wait for the original Baker.

Baker's good friend, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Greg "FBT" Mueller (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 75th), was the runner-up in the event. Mueller entered this extra day play with the chip lead but a few key hands hurt Mueller, he was unable to recover.

Kevin Calenzo (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 281st), Joseph Couden (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 190th), Donnacha O'Dea (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-512th), Konstantin Puchkov (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-335th), Christopher McHugh (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-584th) and Chris Viox (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-657th) were the other players at the final table.

Stephen Su, Rep Porter, Matt Hawrilenko, Michael Chow, Scott Seiver, Jennifer Harman and Calvin Anderson all earned Top 18 finishes.
