Lonis Near the Top; Winter Takes From Haxton
Jesse Lonis recalled a large pot in which Lou Garza was eliminated in a three-way all-in and he doubled through John Riordan prior to the break when his 7♣7♥6♣4♥ flopped a set and open-ender on Qx7x5x with two spades. Riordan had AxQx7x for top two pair with spades and didn't get there.
Fast forward to the new level, Lonis came along in three-way preflop action for 22,000 against Isaac Haxton and Sean Winter. Haxton led the 10♦9♣2♥ flop for 25,000 and Winter called, Lonis folded.
Haxton also bet the 9♥ turn for 41,000 to earn a call and the 2♣ river was checked. Haxton flashed his king-high combo containing a pair of queens and Winter grabbed his cards and the ones of Haxton to mash them, as he had the same pair in the hand but the 9♦ to go with, earning the pot with trips nines.
