Haxton Folds the River for a Tiny Bit More

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Heads-up in a pot between Justin Bonomo (middle position) and Isaac Haxton (button) the flop came {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Bonomo checked, and then called the 5,500-bet Haxton put forward. Both checked the {3-Spades} on the turn before the {Q-Hearts} completed the board.

Bonomo checked again and Haxton bet a hefty 35,000. Bonomo announced all in and Haxton instantly asked for a count. It turned out to be 50,900. Haxton tanked for a bit before he, reluctantly, folded.

"It just hurts to even watch that," Henrik Hecklen said with a smile.

"I'm just gonna tell myself he had top set," Haxton said.

"Top set? You don't put me on quads, so you folded a ten?" Bonomo quipped.

Haxton Doubles With Aces

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

Jean-Noel Thorel opened under the gun for 7,000 and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet from the hijack to 21,000. Isaac Haxton in the big blind, down to his last 35,500, announced all in. Thorel folded, O'Dwyer called.

Steve O'Dwyer: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Isaac Haxton: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The flop came {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}, giving Haxton top set but O'Dywer still had outs. The {5-Spades} on the turn gave Haxton a flush draw on top of his set and the {2-Diamonds} on the river didn't hurt either. Double up for Haxton, O'Dwyer down to 61,000.

Thorel Bad Beats O'Dwyer

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Action folded to Jean-Noel Thorel on the button and he raised to 7,000. Big blind Steve O'Dwyer pushed all in for 60,500 and Thorel called.

Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

Thorel acted like he had just burned his fingers, but it wouldn't work out so bad for him.

Thorel flopped top-two: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and the {9-Diamonds} on the turn wasn't a good card for O'Dwyer either. The {6-Hearts} fell on the river and O'Dwyer said "See you guys in a bit", hinting at reentering.

Petrangelo Busts (and Needles) Dvoress

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

Nick Petrangelo shoved all in under the gun for 34,500. Daniel Dvoress asked for a count and then called all in. All other players folded and Petrangelo asked Dvoress if he had tens.

"Better" replied Dvoress as he showed... {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Petrangelo showed the {Q-Hearts} and not much later the {J-Hearts} to go along with it.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Petrangelo needled Dvoress some more. All in good fun he said "Showers!" to Dvoress who got up and made his exit.

"See you guys!" Hecklen said as he made his way out the door.

Thorel Knocks Out Greenwood

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sam Greenwood got the last of his chips in with {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} from the button. His opponent was Jean-Noel Thorel who was acting out of early position and showed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The board came an unadventurous {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Greenwood made his exit.

"Yesterday second place, today first?" Mikita Badziakouski asked.

"Long way" answered Thorel while stacking his chips.

"Actually not that long, it's just 12 people" Badziakouski said.
