Ryan Tosoc Eliminated in 3rd Place ($77,000)

Level 20 : 0/0, 80,000 ante
Ryan Tosoc
Ryan Tosoc

Ryan Tosoc got the last of his 490,000 chips in the middle holding {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} but was called by Isaac Haxton's {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Haxton held a dominating lead heading to the flop, looking to make this a heads-up duel.

The flop came {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and both players had a straight draw. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {7-Spades} on the river bricked off and Haxton's ace-jack high was good enough to eliminate Tosoc in third place.

Haxton Doubles Through Tosoc

Level 20 : 0/0, 80,000 ante

Isaac Haxton limped in with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Ryan Tosoc stuffed all in with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. With the action back on Haxton, he quickly called and was the player at risk for 3,425,000.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Haxton was still out front with his pair of queens. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} which brought some chop outs but the {9-Clubs} on the river favored Haxton. He scored a huge double up, leaving Tosoc on just over 500,000 chips.

Ryan Tosoc limped in with {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Maurice Hawkins did the same with {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Isaac Haxton checked his option with {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Each player flopped a pair and straight draws but the action checked around to the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. The action checked to Haxton again who bet 160,000. Both Tosoc and Hawkins called to see the {a-Diamonds} on the river. Tosoc led out for 500,000 with Broadway but couldn't find any more action.
