Isaac Haxton raised to 425,000 in early position and Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet to 1,075,000 on the button. Joao Vieira four-bet to 2,400,000 from the big blind and Haxton five-bet jammed all in. Lichtenberger took a moment before letting his hand go and Vieira quickly called off his stack of 6,900,000.
Joao Vieira: A♠A♥
Isaac Haxton: K♠K♣
It was a massive cooler that left Vieira on the heels of doubling up to a massive stack. The board ran out Q♣9♣8♥4♠6♥ and Vieira's pocket aces held on to leave Haxton with just five big blinds.
