Haxton Doubles Through Kornuth
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Isaac Haxton limped in under the gun. Juha Helppi followed suit in the cutoff before Chance Kornuth made it 13,500 on the button. Fabian Riebau-Schmithals defended his big blind, and Haxton tossed in a call as well.
Helppi folded, leading to a three-way flop of 9♦5♣J♦, which checked around. It checked to Kornuth again on the 5♠ turn, but this time he bet 18,000. Riebau-Schmithals called, but Haxton raised to 58,000.
When Kornuth called, Riebau-Schmithals folded, and the 2♦ river was dealt. Haxton bet the pot of 180,500, leaving only 2,500 behind. Kornuth put in the rest, and Haxton quickly called off.
Kornuth tabled A♥J♠5♥4♠ for fives full of jacks, but Haxton had jacks full of fives with J♥J♣9♣3♦, and raked in a double-up.
