Over the past four days, Event #37: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix has played out at the 2012 World Series of Poker and tested 477 players’ mettle in a variety of games: Triple-Draw 2-7, Limit Hold'em, Omaha 8, Razz, Stud, Stud 8, No-Limit Hold’em, and Pot Limit Omaha. While many played well, there could only be one winner, and that man was David Baker, who was long overdue to win his first gold bracelet.
