Haxton Still Stewing from the Main Event

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Isaac Haxton raised it up from the hijack and Peter Chien called from the big blind. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {7-Clubs} on the turn.

Chien led out for 4,400 and Haxton called to see the {6-Diamonds} on the river. Chien fired out another 5,100 and Haxton went into the tank briefly.

"I'm still a bit tilted from the Main," Haxton mentioned, having just busted the Main Event in 18th place. Haxton flicked in a call and Chien showed {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Haxton tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and his ace-high earned the pot.

"I wish I knew that," Chien responded. "I didn't know I was supposed to look up who busted the Main Event before making a decision."

Crema Eliminates Korn

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Thiago Crema opened to 2,000 and Joao Simao called. Andres Korn three-bet all in from the big blind for 22,300 and Crema four-bet all in for around 40,000. Simao gave it some thought before calling.

Thiago Crema: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Andres Korn: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}

The board came {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} with the second king on the river initially giving Korn the impression that the pair chopped, but unfortunately for him Crema's jack played and Korn was eliminated.
