3,157 people paid to play in the Full Tilt Poker Sunday $750,000 tournament on December 7, 2008. Among the top finishers were well-known pros such as Lee Watkinson, Bill Gazes, David Pham and Annette Obrestad. Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin held one of the top spots going into the final table.
The talented internet rounder drew first blood eliminating 13TH BASS PRO with his pocket rockets in ninth place. Later on, he KO’d MattZman with an A,Q in the hole and Evan “BerkeleyBoss” Wrenn with a pair of queens.
Baldwin’s luck continued to hold as the ladies came his way again and helped him take out thinkinghard in fifth position. By the time three-handed play began, Baldwin had a commanding lead and extended that by knocking out ZioStefano to hold a 4-to-1 chip advantage over playnwithnada.
On the final hand, basebaldy dominated playnwithnada with big slick to his opponent’s A,3 in the hole. The board came down 9d, 6h, 8c, 10d, 8d and Eric Baldwin added another major online tournament title to his already impressive resume.
