Haxton Doubles Up with Kings
Level 8
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Isaac Haxton raised in early position, and then faced Ben Heath’s all-in bet out of the big blind.
Haxton, who was at risk of being eliminated, made the call and the two WSOP bracelet winners tabled their hands.
Isaac Haxton: K?K?
Ben Heath: Q?Q?
The dealer fanned out 2?K?4? on the flop, giving Haxton top set. The board saw J? on the turn to have Heath drawing dead. The J? on the river gave Haxton a full house and a double up, while Heath suffered a blow to his chip stack.
