Haxton Survives With a "Weird" Chop

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Isaac Haxton

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: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Isaac Haxton: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop was {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} giving a few backdoor outs to Haxton and the {8-Hearts} on the turn gave him some chop outs as well. The river was the {k-Clubs} 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.
