Living on the Edge

A short-stacked Tony G pushed all in for his last 118,000 from the button, and Isaac Haxton called from the big blind. Tony G showed {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and Haxton {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Haxton was still ahead. But the {K-Spades} on the turn provided new life for Tony G. The {K-Hearts} on the river sealed it, and Tony G is now at 275,000. Haxton has 580,000.

"I'm trying to bubble!" said Tony G afterwards. "Who cares if you finish 21st or 26th?"

Hand for hand continues.
