Paxton Shoves into Lowery

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Doug Paxton
Doug Paxton

A player in early position opened to 3,000, a player in middle position called, and Doug Paxton called on the button. Daniel Lowery squeezed to 14,000 from the big blind, and only Paxton called.

The flop came Q84. Paxton called an 11,500 continuation bet from Lowery.

Lowery bet 14,000 on the 10 turn, and Paxton shoved for 96,800. Lowery thought for about a minute before folding JJ face up, and Paxton took the pot without showdown.

Interestingly, Paxton won the inaugural edition of this event in 2006, featuring a $3,000 buy-in at the time. Paxton was the last player standing from 153 entries in that event, earning $121,452.
