Julius Loses to Kings

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Piotr Franczak (in the blinds) had 11,000 in front of him, Isaac Haxton had 37,000 in front of him, and Kyle Julius was just in the proces of adding the 26,000 chips to call the raise to 37,000. Franczak folded from the blinds and forfeited the 11,000 he had already invested.

The {9-Spades} hit the turn and Haxton checked, Julius checked behind.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board and Haxton bet 85,000. Julius sighed, thought about it for a bit, and made the call. Haxton showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Julius mucked.
