Haxton Pulls Away Further
Isaac Haxton raised to 2,900 and Christian Christner called out of the big blind. On the flop, both players checked. Christner bet the turn for 11,100 and Haxton called, the on the river brought no further action.
Christner briefly showed his cards but mucked when Haxton flashed as winning hand.
Over on the other outer table, Stephen Chidwick claimed two pots in a row. First he raised to 3,000 and was called by Julian Thomas on the button and defending champion Manig Loeser in the big blind. Loeser bet the flop for 7,500 and Chidwick's raise to 22,500 won the pot.
Then, Chidwick opened to 3,000 and Loeser came along out of the small blind. The flop brought a check by Loeser, a bet of 8,000 by Chidwick and a call. On the turn, Loeser checked and folded to a second barrel worth 25,000.
