David ‘ODB” Baker wins bracelet #2, seven-years after winning his first, and thieves hold Joe Sal at gunpoint as they rob him in the Rio car park.

There are times when all the planets of the solar system align, and the Poker Gods pull you towards the gold bracelet like the Death Star’s tractor beam on the Millenium Falcon, only this isn’t a Death Star, it’s a really, really, nice star.

David “ODB” Baker took the chip lead on Day 2 of the 541-entrant, $1,500 Limit Hold’em event, and the times he abandoned it were as rare as drone strikes in Huddersfield.

It’s Baker’s eighth live tournament win, and it puts him on the cusp of the coveted Triple Crown after also winning the 546-entrant, $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship Event at the Los Angeles Poker Classic (LAPC) earlier this year.
