Haxton Hacked Back Down to Size

A player in middle position raised to 175 and picked up two callers, including Issac Haxton sitting in the small blind. The flop fell {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and after Haxton tapped the table, the original raiser fired a bet of 325, forcing a fold from the unknown opponent.

Haxton decided to see another card and made the call, bringing the {Q-Clubs} to the table. After the action was checked to him again, the raiser slid 800 forward and Haxton finally surrendered. Even after dropping this pot, Haxton still sits with 6,100 chips, meaning he powered up early on the tournament.
