Isaac Haxton Eliminated in 3rd Place (HKD1,235,000/$157,327)
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Isaac Haxton moved all in for 201,000 on the button and Richard Yong called out of the big blind.
Isaac Haxton: 
Richard Yong: 
The 
flop improved Yong to top pair, and the 
turn was a blank for Haxton, who was drawing to an ace only. Instead, the 
on the river changed nothing and the field was reduced from four to just two in back-to-back hands. Haxton headed to the rail in 3rd place for HKD1,235,000 (~$157,327).
There will now be a short 10-minute break to set up the duel for the title in Montenegro and Steve O'Dwyer has a solid 2-1 lead over Yong.
