Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Isaac Haxton in the cutoff, and he raised to 5,000. Only Thomas Boivin called, defending his big blind.

They were dealt a J♥8♦4♥ flop and when checked to, Haxton continued for 10,000. Boivin called, and both players checked the 6♠ turn and the 2♣ river.

Boivin rolled over A♠8♥ for a pair of eights, but was just pipped by Haxton's 9♥9♣.

Thomas Boivin opened under the gun to 5,000, Vinny Ligham called in early position, and [Removed:548] defended his big blind.

All three players checked the 7♠8♥6♣ flop and moved on to the A♠ turn.

[Removed:549] checked for a second time, as did Boivin, which gave Lingham the green light to bet. He threw out 8,000, but [Removed:549] had a plan and check-raised to 35,000.

Both Boivin and Lingham folded quickly as [Removed:549] scooped the pot.
