Garcia Dishes Runner-Runner Beat on Haxton
Level 12
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
From the cutoff, Cord Garcia raised to 21,000 before Isaac Haxton three-bet the big blind to 81,000.
Garcia called, and after the dealer spread a 
flop, Haxton continued for 75,000.
Forced to use a time extension chip, Garcia eventually announced he was all in for 293,000. Haxton re-checked his hole cards, then announced a call.
Garcia: 
Haxton: 
Garcia was in bad shape holding top pair against Haxton's middle set.
Needing some combination of flush or straight cards, or runner full house outs, Garcia would see the 
and 
roll off on the turn and river to improve his top pair to a full house.
As Garcia doubled into contention with the chip leaders, Haxton was left with a cruel runner-runner beat to drop down to around 21 big blinds.
