    How good is eric baldwin? i mean he has been below average if not well below average for most of the ME and is still truckin! he did the same thing in the 25k wpt to finish second! this has to be an absolutely intense mental focus of the dynamics of how the table is being played that 95% of online pros dont even come close to! this shows a lot about the difference of online play and live play! GL eric!!!!

    he's definitely my favorite player left and one of my favorite players to follow as well. He's also very humble when speaking about his success and poker from the interviews I've seen of him, which is nice to see. Wish him the best and hope he makes a deep run!

    Definitely got love for Mr. Baldwin. He's had an amazing few years. And after I watched his WPT performance I've became even more of a
    fan (which I didn't think was possible). He played great, and it made for an exciting Final Table.

    Ive had the plessure of knowing Eric before all his success, and the guy hasnt changed one bit. He truly is one of the greatest persons out there, and one of the best players.

    He's very good. Never makes mistakes. And one of the good guys in poker. Hope he continues to make the drive to the Final 9.

    Agree with all the positive posts, he is pretty much the nicest guy out there. Contrasted against so many young players who have won a lot of money, Eric is not even remotely full of himself. Nobody out there I would rather see having this kind of success

    a real testament to his likeability has to be the fact that hes the only person to sign with UB and not catch hell for it. At least not that I know of.

    Baldwin Finds a Call

    Posted 3 minutes ago by FerricRamsium
    We just caught the tail end of a pot as we walked up to see a board of in the middle of the table. Ismail Erkenov had the betting lead, and he fired out one final bet of 200,000. Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin proceeded to raise to 650,000 straight, and that sent Erkenov deep into the tank. When he finally did call, Baldwin tabled his cards and pulled his chips back into his stack immediately. He had , and jacks full are basically the nuts there.
    That pot moves Baldwin up to 3.1 million, while Erkenov has slipped back to about 900,000.

    Very nice pot!

    Even with him puttin a few beats on my boy Shawn Buchanan in huge spots, I can't help but root for Eric as he is just a really nice person as prev posters have said. I definitely root for the people who conduct themselves like Eric does.
