Tollerene Hangs Tough to Eliminate Haxton
Isaac Haxton opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ben Tollerene in the small blind and Murly Manokharan in the big blind holding 10♥6♥ for a three-way pot.
Action checked to Haxton, who continued for 45,000 on the A♣2♦3♥ flop. Tollerene then check-raised to 110,000, which got a fold from Manokharan, but a shove from Haxton 520,000 total — sending Tollerene deep into the tank.
Tollerene eventually stuck in a call and hands were revealed.
Isaac Haxton: A♦7♠
Ben Tollerene: A♥8♥
Both players held an ace, but Tollerene was favored with his eight-kicker.
The J♦K♣ runout kept Tollerene's kicker relevant and Haxton was eliminated.
At the other table, Joao Simao doubled up through Wai Kiat Lee after picking up aces agaisnt Lee's ace-queen.
