Fair Doesn't Care for Haxton's Dare

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ryan Fair opened with a raise from under the gun and ended up getting two callers from the blinds, including Isaac Haxton in the BB. The flop came {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} and it checked to Fair who continued for 8,200. Only Haxton called. The turn was the {3-Spades}, prompting checks from both Haxton and Fair.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, putting a second small pair on board. Haxton looked intently at the river card, then took about a minute to decide his course of action. Finally he set out a column of chips for a bet of 30,000. Fair looked at Haxton for several seconds, then let it go.

Haxton chips up to 128,000, while Fair still sits with about 174,000.
