Gruissem vs. Haxton for 1.05 Million

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Team Online's Isaac Haxton opened for 18,000 from early position only to have Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 90,000 from the small blind. Haxton responded by four-betting all in for 516,000, and Gruissem thought for a few moments before calling off for 506,000 total.

Haxton: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Gruissem: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Like we've seen so many times today, it was a race situation. Gruissem needed to improve to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop left him emptyhanded. The {6-Hearts} turn did the same, and the {7-Spades} river actually improved Haxton to a straight to give him the pot.

Meanwhile, Fabian Quoss was eliminated from the feature table.
