Haxton Doubles Up with Kings
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Isaac Haxton raised in early position, and then faced Ben Heath’s all-in bet out of the big blind.
Haxton, who was at risk of being eliminated, made the call and the two WSOP bracelet winners tabled their hands.
Isaac Haxton: K♥K♣
Ben Heath: Q♦Q♥
The dealer fanned out 2♥K♦4♦ on the flop, giving Haxton top set. The board saw J♠ on the turn to have Heath drawing dead. The J♣ on the river gave Haxton a full house and a double up, while Heath suffered a blow to his chip stack.
