Kanit Done In By Team Online's Haxton
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
On a flop of 
, back-and-forth action saw Mustapha Kanit get his last 40,000 or so all in from the big blind against Team Online's Isaac Haxton, who was on the button.
Kanit: 
Haxton:
Both players had flopped top pair, but Haxton's queen kicker had him well out in front. The 
turn changed nothing, and neither did the 
river. Both players held kings and jacks, meaning the kicker made all the difference.
