Haxton Gets a Squeeze Through

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Najeem Ajez limped in from middle position and Chase Steely did so in the hijack. David Benyamine then made it 11,000 in the cutoff before big blind Isaac Haxton three-bet to 38,000.

All of his opponents folded, and Haxton was awarded the pot.

"I'm on tilt," he added as he stacked up his chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Livingston had gone all in for his final few chips and was looked up by Roberto Sagra and Philip Wiszowaty, who had created a side pot.

Sagra then check-called a 25,000 bet on the 4♦Q♦9♣ pot before Wiszowaty made it 50,000 to go on the Q♣ turn. Sagra raised the pot to 229,000 and Wiszowaty jammed all in for not much more.

Sagra called and all hands were tabled.

Alex Livingston: A♦K♦8♥2♥ All in
Philip Wiszowaty: K♠Q♠7♥5♥ All in
Roberto Sagra: K♥K♣Q♥6♠

The 8♠ river changed nothing, and Sagra and Wiszowaty split both the main and the side pot with trip queens as Livingston took his exit.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Tomer Daniel had just entered and was in the big blind for his first hand. A larger three-way pot emerged to the Q♦10♣6♦4♠ turn on which he bet the pot for 138,000. David Benyamine folded and Ben Lamb called on the button.

Daniel then jammed the 7♠ river and Lamb snap-called to first show his 8♦5♦ for the straight followed by the A♦K♥.

Daniel flashed his Q♣10♥6♥6♣ for a flopped set of sixes (and the top two pair on top of it) to bust in the first hand.

"See you soon guys," he grinned and walked out of the tournament area. Not much later, Isaac Haxton took the seat Daniel had previously occupied.

Level 3 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Alex Livingston bet the pot for 45,500 on the 7♥6♠3♠Q♣ turn while in the big blind and Jonas Kronwitter mulled it over for a short time to then raise the pot. Livingston called all-in and they turned them over.

Alex Livingston: A♣8♣5♠4♦ All in
Jonas Kronwitter: Q♠10♥5♥4♠

Both had outs to improve but the 6♣ river was a brick.

Level 3 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jesse Lonis, Ronald Keijzer, and Tomas Ribeiro went three-way to a flop of 6♦2♥10♣. Lonis piled in 16,000 chips from under the gun, folding out Keijzer in the seat next to him.

Ribeiro made the call on the button, however, and the 5♣ arrived on the turn. Lonis upped the ante to a pot-sized of 54,000 chips and Ribeiro folded his cards.

The 4♥ was then picked out of Lonis' hand to show, after which the table agreed to show two cards from winners' hands from thereon out.

Ronald Keijzer	255,000

Level 3 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Ronald Keijzer raised to 5,500 and Anuj [Removed:550] then potted to 18,900 on the button. Michael Duek called in the big blind and Keijzer also came along to the 9♦6♣3♥ flop. Duek bet the pot, tossing in three green T-25,000 chips, and Keijzer folded.

[Removed:550] wanted to see how much Duek was playing and then moved all-in, Duek called instantly.

Michael Duek: A♦9♠7♦5♠ All in
Anuj [Removed:550]: K♣6♠4♣3♠

Duek's top pair was behind against the bottom two pair of [Removed:550] but he hit the 9♥ turn as well as the 9♣ river to double with quads for 199,700.

In the meanwhile, Roberto Sagra has been eliminated and his stack was sent over to Jonathan Azoulay.
