Isaac Haxton Does It Again

Earlier today Haxton's pocket Fours cracked Chad Batista's pocket Aces, and he just sucked out on the river again to stay alive. After Haxton raised to 45,000, Batista raised to 115K. Haxton moved in and Batista called with {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Haxton turned over pocket Sevens and needed to win the race to stay in the tournament.

The {J-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop gave Batista a pair and a straight draw as well, and when the {A-Hearts} fell on the turn Haxton was dead to a Seven. And then, on the river, Haxton spiked the {7-Clubs}. He turned around and pumped his fist in celebration as he had once again doubled up through Batista.

Shawn Hatten Eliminates Jordan Morgan in 12th Place

It seems like Hatten has been involved in every hand lately, and the latest he played was the last for Jordan Morgan. From the cutoff Hatten raised to 50,000 and Morgan moved all-in from the big blind for 250K more. Hatten called and showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, while Morgan held {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The {9-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop paired both players, but the {5-Clubs} on the turn and {6-Clubs} on the river didn't help Morgan and he was eliminated in 12th place.

There Are Bluffs . . .

And then there are sick bluffs. With the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Thierry Cazels led out for 80K after Shawn Luman checked, only to have Luman raise him to 250,000. Cazels called that bet, and when the {A-Spades} fell on the river Luman checked once again. Any king would make the nut straight, and Cazels waved his hands forward and said, "All-in."

Luman didn't call instantly, instead he checked his cards several times mulling the situation over. He finally shook his head and tossed his cards in the muck . . . and Cazels flipped over the {7-Spades}{8-Spades} for bottom pair.

Issac Haxton Eliminates Ali Alawadhi in 10th Place

Theo Tran raised to 65,000 and Ali Alawadhi moved all-in for 193,000 total. Issac Haxton called, and that left Tran with a tough decision. He gave it some thought before mucking A-J.

Good fold, it turned out, as Haxton held {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to Alawadhi's {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Alawadhi was eliminated in 10th place, setting the roster for tomorrow's final table.
