Isaac Haxton raised under the gun and Steve Landfish who has been by far the most aggressive player at the table three-bet in the cutoff. Haxton made it four bets and Landfish just called as the players saw a 
flop where Haxton led out. Landfish raised and Haxton made the call as the 
rolled off on the turn. Haxton check-called Landfish’s bet and checked again when the 
hit the river. Landfish bet once more and after some deliberation, Haxton folded to give Landfish the pot.
Although Landfish has been caught in several bluffs leading up to and at the final table, his aggression has won him plenty of pots as well as has gotten him paid when he’s had the goods on his way to the chip lead.

Brodie: 
Greenstein: 
Brodie was behind and needed some help to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, he received none as the board ran out 
. Just like that, the man largely responsible for Microsoft Word was eliminated from the tournament for $44,207; not only that, Brodie left with the satisfaction that he had made his first-ever WSOP final table.
