Haxton Survives With a "Weird" Chop
Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ali Imsirovic opened on the button with a raise to 5,000. Chris Hunichen called in the small blind before Isaac Haxton moved all in from the big blind for right around 50,000. Imsirovic moved all in over the top for about 200,000 but Hunichen folded so Haxton was at risk to Imsirovic.
Ali Imsirovic: 
Isaac Haxton: 
The flop was 
giving a few backdoor outs to Haxton and the 
on the turn gave him some chop outs as well. The river was the 
and that would earn each player half the pot with a chop pot, eights with ace-king-queen kickers.
"The weird way," Nick Schulman said about the way the pot got chopped.
