Padron Wins it Three-Way

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabrice Bigot put in the minimum raise to 60,000 in early position. Joey Padron called in the cutoff, and Isaac Haxton defended his big blind.

Haxton checked to Bigot on the 7♣Q♠6♥ flop, and the Frenchman continued for 90,000. Padron and Haxton both called to the 7♦ turn, which was checked around.

The Q♥ river then completed the board. Three more checks followed, and Padron's 8♥8♦ took the pot when Haxton tabled 9♣8♣ and Bigot showed down K♥9♥.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jon Kyte was all in for around 300,000 from early position, Brian Saslavchik also put in his last 800,000 from middle position, and Noah Goldman in the cutoff put both players at risk.

Jon Kyte: J♣J♠ All in
Brian Saslavchik: K♦K♥ All in
Noah Goldman: A♣A♦

All three players had a pocket pair, but Goldman showed down two aces and was a big favorite to scoop the pot. The board ran out 5♠4♣7♠10♦2♠ and Goldman sent both opponents to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Thomas Boivin raised to 65,000 in the cutoff, Stephen Hesse flatted his button, and Isaac Haxton came along in the small blind.

The three players checked through the 3♥4♣6♣ flop, as well as the A♥ turn. The 5♥ then emerged on the river. Haxton bet 200,000, and Boivin quickly got rid of his K♦4♦.

Hesse spent some time in the tank before he tossed in a call. Haxton tabled J♥9♥ for a flush, and Hesse's A♠Q♠ was added to the muck.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Isaac Haxton was in middle position and raised to 60,000. It folded to Stephen Chidwick on the button, who jammed in his stack of 375,000. Small blind Jeremy Kottler thought for some time before he committed his stack of 335,000, and Haxton snap-called to put both players at risk.

Jeremy Kottler: A♥J♥ All in
Stephen Chidwick: 5♥5♦ All in
Isaac Haxton: K♦K♣

Haxton flopped top set on 3♥K♠6♥, but Kottler's flush draw completed on the 9♥ turn to take the lead. The 6♦ river paired the board, turning Haxton's set into a full house.

Chidwick and Kottler packed their bags as Haxton shipped the pot, chipping up to over 125 big blinds.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabrice Bigot raised to 65,000 in the hijack with A♠8♣. Yuchen Chen looked down at 10♦7♣ in the cutoff, which he three-bet to 190,000.

Chen's aggressiveness panned out as Bigot quickly folded once the action had reached him again.

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabrice Bigot was in middle position and raised to 65,000. Joey Padron called on the button, and called Bigot's continuation-bet of 50,000 on the 6♣A♦K♣ flop as well.

Bigot slowed down on the 8♠ turn, checking before calling Padron's bet of 115,000. The 7♦ river was quickly checked to showdown.

Bigot tabled A♠10♠ for a pair of aces. Padron had the same pair, but his A♣3♣ was outkicked and disappeared into the muck.
