Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Isaac Haxton will be hoping for (at least) a repeat performance on last year's efforts in the AU$250,000 Challenge (2nd for AU$2,820,000) when he plays on the weekend as the Main Event didn't work out so well for him today.

He was on the button and three-bet to 4,200 after the hijack had opened to 1,400. The action was back on his opponent and he buried his head in in arms for enough time that it seemed odd. When he resurfaced, he moved all in with . Haxton called all in for 17,000 with but failed to hit on the board.

Schemion, the Four-Bet King

donpeters

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Every time there's a raise and a reraise in front of Ole Schemion it seems he wants to four-bet. And then, a good amount of the time he actually does come in with amped up aggression. This was one of those cases.

After Sorel Mizzi opened with a raise from early position to 1,500 and another player three-bet from middle position to 3,600, action folded to Schemion in the small blind. The young German stuck in a cold four-bet to 7,500, and that won him the pot.

MarcC

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Louis Salter will not be joining brother, Jack, on Day 2 tomorrow after he was eliminated by Jeff Rossiter.
