Carrel Over a Million; Haxton Takes on O'Dwyer
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
A squeeze to 47,500 was in front of Isaac Haxton in the small blind and Steve O'Dwyer called out of the cutoff to see a heads-up flop of 
. Haxton continued for 26,000 and O'Dwyer called. After the 
turn, Haxton fired 85,000 and O'Dwyer eventually folded.
At almost the same time on a different table, Charlie Carrel increased his lead after shoving into Viacheslav Buldygin. Carrel had a reraise to 40,000 in front of him in the big blind and Buldygin then squeezed to 92,000 before folding to the shove of the Brit. Carrel appears to be the only player above one million thus far.
