It's Always Funner

Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Nicolas Fierro squeezed out {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} in the middle seat, and he opened to 70,000. Over in the small blind, Isaac Haxton was dealt {A-Hearts} {10-Spades}, and he paused to consider. The last 691,000 of his chips eventually went in as he declared his intentions, and Fierro made the easy call to put Haxton in a bad spot.

The {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {J-Hearts} flop was a miss, but there were "a lot of interesting turn cards," as someone at the table said. The {Q-Diamonds} only served to flip-flop his outs, and Haxton was drawing dead to Boadway with one card to come.

Sure enough, though, the suicide {K-Hearts} dropped off the deck like a bolt of thunder, and Haxton spiked lucky to earn the come-from-behind double. It moves him back around the chip average with 1.432 million, while Fierro has been knocked all the way back to 808,000.

Duhamel Doubles Through Haxton

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Isaac Haxton opened to 60,000 under the gun with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Jonathan Duhamel re-raised all in for 649,000 with {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} on the button. Action folded back to Haxton and he called.

The {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop gave Duhamel a straight-flush draw and sure enough, the {2-Diamonds} turn locked up the pot for Duhamel with the straight flush. The {A-Spades} river was merely a formality as Duhamel took down the pot.

To the Aggressor Go the Spoils

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Leonid Bilokur raised to 60,000 with {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}, and action came to Jason Koon in the small blind. His {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} was good enough for a three-bet to 151,000, but Isaac Haxton had the best hand in the big blind. It was {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, and the decision sent him deep into the tank for a couple minutes. He eventually thought better of it and folded, and Bilokur ducked out as well.

Duhamel Continues To Chip Up

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Duhamel opened to 60,000 under the gun with {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Jason Koon three-bet to 135,000 with {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} on the button. Duhamel called, landing an {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop.

Duhamel checked it to Koon who bet 93,000. After a few moments, Duhamel called to see the {10-Clubs} turn. He checked and Koon kept up the heat with a bet of 183,000. Duhamel re-raised all in, getting Koon to quickly lay it down.
