Paxton Finds a Late Night Double
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Victor Haynes opened to 25,000 from under the gun before Doug Paxton jammed for 113,000 from the big blind, and Haynes put in the call after a moment of deliberation.
Doug Paxton: A♣Q♦ 
Victor Haynes: K♦J♣
Paxton was ahead but Haynes held live cards as the 9♣5♥2♠ flop improved neither player. Paxton remained in the lead on the 3♣A♠ runout as he made top pair for good measure as he collected the full double.
