Peters Pressures Haxton
Current chip leader David Peters is strengthening his position and applying the pressure at the moment, with Isaac Haxton the man under the hammer in this particular hand.
There is already over 55,000 in the pot when we arrive on the turn with the board reading 
. Haxton checked the action over to Peters who tightens the screws with a bet of 22,000.
Haxton thought it over and made the call, leaving himself around 83,500 behind and the 
came down on the river to double pair the board.
Haxton checked once more and Peters quickly announced ‘all-in’ to send Haxton deep into the tank. He burns through a time bank chip (Haxton now has two remaining) and chews through nearly the full 30-seconds of extra time before grudgingly folding leaving Peters to scoop the pot and further extend his lead.
