The other short-deck finalist, Maurice Hawkins, also hasn't wasted time getting busy, but he has not had the success Haxton has so far. In one recent pot, Hawkins raised a turn bet to 24,000 after big blind Brandon Adams bet 7,000 on ![]()
![]()
![]()
. Adams came back with 65,500 and Hawkins folded fairly quickly.
Players are now on break for 10 minutes.
Fresh off his short-deck win, Isaac Haxton hopped into the $25K and got a double in the first big pot we saw him play. He got in a raising war with Larry Greenberg and wound up all in with ![]()
against ![]()
. The ![]()
![]()
flop meant a queen was no longer good for Greenberg, and he was the one who needed help after the
turned. A
river gave Haxton the nuts, and Greenberg shipped over 164,000.
Sam Soverel opened button to 6,000 and Ben Yu shoved all in from the big blind for 130,500.
"I have a bad hand," Soverel said with a smile as he thought.
Nonetheless, he slid in calling chips moments later.
Soverel: ![]()

The ![]()

brought nothing for Soverel and Yu doubled through.

. Bonomo had ![]()
.
The ![]()
![]()
flop gave Bonomo the out he needed. Peters began pushing chips in after the
turn but the
river brought his lone out left and he slightly covered Bonomo's 140,000 or so.
