Ike Haxton, one of the greatest players in tournament poker, has exited the $25k Titi Poker after an all-in collision with Khoa Anh Ngo.
Ngo, from the button, raised to 1,200,000 and Haxton replied with a three-bet to 5,200,000. When Ngo shoved, Haxton called for his tournament life and the cards were on their backs.
Ike Haxton: A♦5♦
Khoa Anh Ngo: A♠7♥
Ngo was ahead and went even further clear on the 9♣7♣4♣ flop. When the Q♣ turn and 9♥ river completed the board, his victory was assured and Haxton had to exit to the payout desk to pick up yet another huge score at Triton.
