Green Five-Bet Jams Pre

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jake Schindler opened on the button to 15,000 starting a hefty raising war. Brian Green three-bet in the small blind making it 40,000 to go only to see Antonio Esfandiari four-bet to 81,000 out of the big blind. Schindler quickly released and Green took no time five-bet jamming all in, getting Esfandiari to lay it down.

Haxton Busts Two to Take Top Spot

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

From across the room, we saw both Ben Tollerene and Barry Woods leaving the table while a mountain of chips was being pushed towards Isaac Haxton.

The dealer informed us that all the money was piled in preflop with Haxton holding the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against Tollerene's {a-}{q-} and Woods' {a-}{k-}. Haxton's pair held through a {9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Spades} board knocking out both of his opponents and leaping into the chip lead.
