Haxton Climbs from the Bottom
Level 21
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Joao Vieira raised to 500,000 on the button with A♦5♣ and Isaac Haxton called in the big blind holding 10♦7♦. The flop came Q♥8♦7♥ and Haxton check-called a bet of 350,000 from Vieira.
The turn brought the 2♥ and both players checked to the J♦ on the river. Haxton checked one more time and Vieira gave up by checking it back. Haxton scooped the pot with just a pair of sevens and climbed from the bottom of the chip counts.
