[user339872]

Nível 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

Picking up the action with the flop reading 6♠4♣2♣, the action was checked to the button who bet 5,500 into a pot of around 10,000. Isaac Haxton check-raised to 20,000 in middle position and the button just called.

The turn was the 7♠ and Haxton just ripped all in for 89,000. His opponent asked for a count and then called to put Haxton at risk. Haxton tabled K♥K♦ for an over pair but his opponent showed 6♥4♥ for two pair. However, the 7♥ paired the board on the river and Haxton made a better two pair in order to double up.
