Haxton Doubles Up

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Isaac Haxton bet 24,000 from the hijack. His neighbor Blake Bohn had 105,000 in front of him, though the raise might have been smaller than that. Haxton eventually shoved all in for 343,000 and Bohn called.

Isaac Haxton: {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Blake Bohn: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn and {9-Spades} on the river were blanks and Haxton doubled.

Did Shak Fold Bottom Set?

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger was first to act and raised to 18,000. He got no fewer than 4 callers; Dan Shak in the hijack, Carl Leckner on the button, Dario Sammartino in the small blind and John Juanda in the big blind all came along to see a flop.

Sammartino lead out for 35,000 on {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Juanda was quick to fold, Lichtenberger called. Shak then squeezed to 80,000 and Leckner folded. Sammartino thought about it for a bit before shoving for 623,000 total. Lichtenberger folded just about right away.

Shak needed some more time but eventually folded after about 4 minutes in the tank, claiming to toss bottom set into the muck.

Dietrich Fast raised to 20,000 from under the gun, Jonathan Jaffe three-bet to 66,000 from the button, Leon Tsoukernik called from the big blind, Fast four-bet to 220,000, Jaffe folded, and Tsoukernik called.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Tsoukernik shoved for effectively 520,000-ish. Fast called immediately with {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for top set of kings, while Tsoukernik tabled {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens with a flush draw.

The {9-Spades} turn gave Tsoukernik outs to a straight as well, but the {5-Clubs} river was no help and locked up the double for Fast.
