Huxley Doubles Daouhadji
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Defending Champ Phillip Huxley chipped up a little to start the day but he just lost half his stack.
A player opened from middle position to 9,000 before Belmehel Dja Daouhadji three-bet to 25,000 from the button. Huxley four-bet to 68,000 from the small blind. The original raiser folded before Daouhadji five-bet jammed to 144,000. Huxley snap-called and players turned over their cards.
Belmehel Dja Daouhadji: 
Phillip Huxley: 
Huxley was marginally ahead when the chips went into the middle but his opponent took a big advantage in the hand after pairing the 
flop. Neither the 
on the turn nor the 
on the river was of any help to Huxley and Daouhadji won a big pot off the defending champion.
