Haxton Doubles Through Rolle

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Action folded to the button, where Benjamin Rolle just shoved all in. Isaac Haxton called for 495K in the big blind.

Rolle: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Haxton: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Rolle flopped way the best of it on {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs} but Haxton found the {10-Spades} turn to rocket back in front. He just needed to fade a rivered straight and the {7-Clubs} wasn't cutting it for Rolle.

Action folded to the small blind, where Mike Watson shoved all in for 477,738. Benjamin Rolle was ready with {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} but Watson had solid live cards with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

The {j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop favored Rolle but Watson still had equity. He grabbed a few more outs on the {k-Clubs} turn but the {4-Clubs} river didn't help him.
