Isaac Haxton Eliminated in 6th Place (£103,000)

Didn't think he'd have aces

Haxton raised to 25,000, only for Juanda to make it 75,000 from the big blind. Haxton took some time over his decision. Very often when Haxton is in a big hand he looks so nervous he might have a heart attack, his hands covering his mouth, his eyes flitting all over the place. But he looked curiously calm when he pushed the rest of his chips across the line, which was perhaps not the right reaction as Juanda immediately said, "I have to call," and did just that. The reason:

Juanda: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Haxton: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}

Haxton is smiling, but in that manner which suggests it's either that or cry. He's drawing dead by the turn of the {Q-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {4-Spades} {J-Spades} board, Haxton is hacked right down and we lose our sixth-place finisher.
