No Heart for Haxton Leaves Him with 30K

On a board showing {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {A-Hearts}, Isaac Haxton led out with a 3,700 bet from middle position and was called by an opponent on the button, with equally long, dark hair. The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and Haxton fired again, this time making it 8,600 to go; his opponent made the call.

The last card off the deck was a black jack and both players checked, sending us straight to a showdown:

Haxton: {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

Haxton's single pair of jacks played second fiddle to his opponent's aces, thus leaving him with right around 30,000 in chips.
