Sekularac Doubles Through Haxton

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ognjen Sekularac moved all in from the hijack for 645,000 and action folded to Isaac Haxton in the small blind. He thought for about 20 seconds before he put in the chips to call. The big blind folded and it was on to a showdown.

Ognjen Sekularac: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Isaac Haxton: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The flop was safe for Haxton when it came {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} but the {K-Spades} on the turn turned the tables for Sekularac. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and that would do the trick for Sekularac who doubled over a million while Haxton was left with about 540,000.

Fox Scores Monster Double Through Pardo

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Juan Pardo Dominguez opened to 90,000 and Elio Fox asked how much Pardo was playing before raising to 220,000. The remaining players folded and Pardo moved all in. Fox snap-called.

Juan Pardo Dominguez: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Elio Fox: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Fox was the all-in player for 1,350,000.

"Wow," said Fox, "I didn't know you had 100,000 chips!" Pardo started the day sixth in chips and after doubling Fox up was left with just 40,000.

As the big blind next hand, Pardo was all in and there was no ante. Fox limped and the remaining players all folded.

Elio Fox: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Juan Pardo Dominguez: {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Pardo doubled up.

Koon Takes a Pot

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A threeway pot between Jake Schindler, Matthias Eibinger, and Jason Koon reached the river of an {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board with around 200,000 piled up beside it.
