Isaac Haxton has just lost a very large pot and we were there to catch all the action. It started with Haxton opening the pot to 3,000 from under the gun. Marcia Topp was in the seat directly on Haxton's left and quickly three-bet to 6,000. A flurry of cards hit the muck from all directions of the table and it was back on Haxton and he called.
On the flop, Haxton check-called a bet of 7,900 and then check-called a bet of 15,000 on the turn. Then the dealer flipped over a river and the action started heating up.
Haxton again checked here, but then went deep into the tank when Topp bet 25,000. The ESPN cameras came and focused on Haxton as almost two minutes passed. Eventually Haxton said, "Alright, time to look stupid on TV," flicking out the call as he did so.
At showdown, Topp tabled , for a rivered flush - enough to scoop up the large pot and leave a big dent in Haxton's stack.
"Well, at least i won't be wondering," said Haxton as he played with his chips. There is always a silver lining.
Christopher Kolla raised to 2,600 from early position and was called by both the small and big blinds. Action went check-check to Kolla on the flop, and he promptly bet 3,800.
The small blind got out of the way while the big check-raised to around 18,000. Kolla, who had the bigger stack, made it 38,000 to go, the big blind four-bet to 76,000, and Kolla moved all in. The big blind shrugged and called off for right around 100,000 total.
Showdown
Kolla
Big Blind
It was a brutal spot for the big blind as he had flopped top two pair only to run it into top set. He needed running cards to stay alive, but the turn put an end to any hope of that happening. The was put out on the river for good measure as Kolla was pushed the giant pot.
Unfortunately we didn't get the eliminated player's name, which was understandable as he was fairly upset after the hand.
Daniel Negreanu opened to 2,800 from middle position, and a player called in the hijack seat. A third player three-bet to 7,100 on the button, and both Negreanu and the player in the hijack called.
The dealer fanned , and the action checked to the player on the button, who fired 6,000. Only Negreanu called.
The turn was the , Negreanu checked again, and the player fired 12,000. Negreanu folded, and dropped down to 312,000 chips.
The Day 2a field in the Amazon Room is just slightly ahead of schedule (due to taking less time to color-up earlier) and therefore the tournament clock has now been stopped and the call for five more hands has been made. Stay tuned for notable end-of-day chip counts.
With the clock paused at 10 minutes, the tournament staff has just announced that five more hands will be played in the Brasilia Room before the players bag and tag for the night.
Christina Lindley just tripled up in a three-way all in. She had pocket queens against one opponent's ace-king and another's pocket kings. A queen on the turn and a board pair on the river finished Lindley with a full house to give her the win and the triple to 65,000 in chips.
