The Lucky Coin Prevails

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Isaac Haxton obtained a "lucky quarter" from Joe McKeehen after a recent tournament in Las Vegas, and today its proving to be very helpful.

Haxton explained on Twitter that after a redraw McKeehen left a quarter on the table and the former took it with him, as the luck of the WSOP Main Event champion could turn out to be helpful.

Yesterday Haxton forgot to bring the lucky quarter, as he left it in his hotel room, and this resulted in him not being as fortunate as he would've liked to be. Haxton had to re-enter this event, but today things are a bit different.

Just now it was McKeehen who raised from the button to 28,000 and Haxton three-bet from the big blind to 88,000. McKeehen tanked for a while before making it 213,000, and Haxton moved all in. McKeehen called right away for 557,000 total and the showdown went as following with more than a million chips in the middle.

The board ran out and Haxton caught a set to double up. Haxton referenced to the lucky coin as being helpful, and he's now sitting on a very healthy stack as the tournament gets closer and closer to the money.
