Haxton Flops the Joint to Eliminate Malaurie

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

France's Christophe Malaurie opened with a standard raise preflop and Team Online's Isaac Haxton defended the big blind to see a flop of {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}. Haxton checked, Malaurie bet, and Haxton check-raised to 50,000. Malaurie three-bet to 106,000, leaving himself 40,000 or so behind, and Haxton paused for a beat before moving all in. Malaurie snap-called off.

Haxton: {6-Spades}{4-Spades}
Malaurie: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Haxton flopped the joint, but Malaurie was drawing live with the ace of spades. The {8-Clubs} turn paired the board and gave Malaurie even more outs, but he was left wanting as the {J-Hearts} blanked on the river.
