Could Be a Hot Year

Be warned, hot to touch.
Be warned, hot to touch.
Nelly's table was broken after he left and "Bodog Ari" Engel was moved two to the left of Isaac Haxton. The two wasted little time getting involved as well.

The flop read {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and Haxton bet big and Engel called, creating a really big pot. The turn {2-Hearts} came before Haxton moved all-in for 5,500. Engel didn't take too long to call with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, but quickly got up and left after Haxton tabled {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} for a flopped set.

The river came {5-Diamonds} to send the 20,000 pot Haxton's way. He told me he's played two hands, hit two sets and busted two players. Not a bad start.
