Haxton's Flush Gets Value from Kenney

Nick Vazquez

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 105,000 in the cutoff. Bryn Kenney was his only caller in the big blind.

Both players checked on the 8♣5♣2♠ board. On the A♣ turn, Kenney checked and Haxton bet 105,000. Kenney tossed in the call.

The river was the 6♠, and Kenney checked it over to Haxton again. Haxton bet 415,000. Kenney thought for a moment and then made the call. Haxton turned over J♣7♣5♥3♥ for a flush, which won him the pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Foxen opened the action with a raise to 150,000 from under the gun and picked up a call right behind him by Aaron Katz. It then folded all the way to Bryce Yockey in the big blind, who also came along.

All three players checked the K♣7♣4♦ flop to the A♦ turn on which Yockey checked once more. Foxen bet 405,000 to force out Katz, but Yockey had other plans and moved all-in to win the pot uncontested.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Lou Garza limped from under the gun. Shaun Deeb completed from the small blind, and Phil Ivey checked out of the big blind.

All three players checked a runout of 7♥K♥9♦7♠6♣ to the river before Ivey bet 200,000. This was enough to get Garza and Deeb to fold, allowing Ivey to pull in the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Christopher Frank limped in early position, Veselin Karakitukov limped in the cutoff. Sean Rafael called in the small blind, and Tomas Ribeiro raised to 250,000 from the big blind. Frank and Karakitukov called, and Rafael got out of the way.

The flop came J♥4♣2♦, and Ribeiro bet the pot. Frank called for all of his chips, and Karakitukov then moved all in. Ribeiro called.

"I'm totally dead", Frank said as the players were turning over their cards.

Christopher Frank: J♠10♣9♣7♠ All in
Veselin Karakitukov: A♠K♥5♠3♥ All in
Tomas Ribeiro: A♥Q♣J♣6♠

The turn brought the 2♠ and the river was the 9♦, so Frank's two pair won the pot. "Jack Nine wins?" he asked in astonishment. Meanwhile, Karakitukov was eliminated.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Three players saw the flop come out Q♦8♠6♦. Alex Foxen checked from the small blind and Aaron Katz bet 200,000 from the big blind. Phil Ivey called from the hijack, before Foxen check-raised to 1,000,000 with 510,000 behind. Katz potted it back, which forced Ivey to fold. Foxen called the remainder of his stack, and the cards were turned over.

Alex Foxen: A♠Q♠Q♣3♦ All in
Aaron Katz: 9♥8♥8♣7♠

It was a set over set situation, but Foxen was in the lead with the higher set. However, Katz did have a straight draw. The 2♥ turn and 2♣ river only improved Foxen to the nut boat, earning him the huge double-up near the money bubble.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised the button to 175,000 before Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet to 550,000 from the big blind. Deeb made the call.

The dealer fanned out a flop of A♠J♠J♥ and Jouhkimainen jammed for 725,000. Deeb immediately called.

Joni Jouhkimainen: A♥Q♣10♠8♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♣K♦J♣8♣

Deeb flopped a boat and could only lose to running cards. The Q♠ turn gave Jouhkimainen a glimmer of hope, but the 4♣ river didn't help him. Jouhkimainen vacated his seat, and Deeb added a lot of chips to his stack.
