Haxton's Jacks

Isaac Haxton raised from the cutoff and Anh Van Nguyen called from the big blind. Van Nguyen checked the raggedy {5-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, Haxton bet, Van Nguyen check-raised, and Haxton called. The {Q-Spades} came on the turn, and both checked. The river brought the {Q-Diamonds}, Van Nguyen bet, and Haxton called.

Van Nguyen showed 8-8, and Haxton showed {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to take the pot. Haxton is up to 75,000. Van Nguyen is down to 7,500.

Corkins Fights Griffin, Gets Clawed

Hoyt Corkins is all in with 9-9 versus Gavin Griffin's K-Q. After Griffin calls, Phil Laak says, "I folded 8-8. Gavin saved me." The 9-9 holds up and Corkins is up to 34,000 versus the 46,000 of Griffin.

On the next hand, the board is {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and they show down again with a lot of chips in the pot. Griffin has {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} and Corkins has 7-7. The boat over boat situation knocks Corkins down to his last 1,500. Griffin moves back up to 97,800.

"You win one race, you lose one race," says Corkins.

Corkins goes out a short time later with K-Q versus Griffin's A-A on a board of 4-6-10-10-2.

DeWitt Charging Ahead

Jason DeWitt raised to 3,000 from UTG, John Hoppmann called from middle position, and everyone else folded. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and DeWitt checked. Hoppmann bet 4,000, and DeWitt bumped it up to 10,000. Hoppmann called.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts}. DeWitt bet 4,000, and Hoppmann called.

Neither player cared for the {10-Spades} on the river, and both checked. DeWitt showed {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for trips, and Hoppmann mucked. DeWitt now has 105,000, and Hoppmann is down to 14,000.

River Reprieve for Adler

Roland de Wolfe and Al Adler just got it all in before the flop, with de Wolfe having Adler well covered. Adler showed J-J, while de Wolfe tabled A-A.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. The turn brought the {4-Spades}. Looking bleak for Adler . . . .

Then came the river, the {J-Diamonds}, and Adler survived to continue the fight. Adler is up to 25,500, and de Wolfe now has 63,000.
