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.

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.

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.
