Adams Raises Out Hawkins Before Break

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

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 {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Adams came back with 65,500 and Hawkins folded fairly quickly.

Players are now on break for 10 minutes.

Haxton Doubles Through Greenberg

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ike Haxton
Ike Haxton

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 {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} against {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The {10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop meant a queen was no longer good for Greenberg, and he was the one who needed help after the {k-Diamonds} turned. A {q-Clubs} river gave Haxton the nuts, and Greenberg shipped over 164,000.

Yu Doubles Through Soverel

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

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: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Yu: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} brought nothing for Soverel and Yu doubled through.

Peters Sends Bonomo Back to Reenter

Level 6 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Justin Bonomo had 11,000 in front of him in the small blind and was facing 31,000 from David Peters in the big. Bonomo pushed all in and Peters snap-called, tabling {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Bonomo had {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop gave Bonomo the out he needed. Peters began pushing chips in after the {3-Diamonds} turn but the {q-Diamonds} river brought his lone out left and he slightly covered Bonomo's 140,000 or so.
