Negreanu Leads the River

Level 15 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Ivey opened for a raise in the cutoff, Daniel Negreanu called in the big blind, and the dealer spread {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Negreanu check-called a bet of 150,000, both players knuckled when the {3-Diamonds} turned, and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

Kid Poker led out, making it 250,000 to go, and his good friend went into the tank. Ivey eventually found a fold, shooting Negreanu an annoyed look as he flicked his cards into the muck, and the Canadian Team PokerStars Pro picked up the pot.

Ivey Picks Off Haxton's Bluff with Ace High

Level 15 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Ivey raised to 120,000 from the button, and Isaac Haxton called from the big blind to see the flop come down {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Haxton checked, and Ivey checked.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, and both players checked again. Then, the dealer completed the board with the {9-Clubs} on the river. Haxton paused for about a minute and then bet 125,000. Ivey stared him down, then called.

Haxton tabled {J-}{2-}, but that was no good against Ivey's {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for ace high.

Ivey Jams On Haxton

Level 15 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Ivey raised to 120,000 from the cutoff seat, and Isaac Haxton reraised from the small blind to 375,000. Action moved back to Ivey, and he began to study Haxton. After a minute or so, Ivey reraised all in, and Haxton quickly folded.

He's Got More Time

Level 15 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Ivey opened for 150,000 from the small blind, Mike "Timex" McDonald defended from the big, and the two players saw a flop of {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Ivey led out for 150,000, McDonald called, and the {8-Spades} peeled off on the river.

Ivey bet again, this time 275,000, but snap-folded when McDonald moved all in for 500,000 total.

McDonald slowed down, checking to Haxton who fired out 215,000. It was good enough to win the pot, and Haxton is nearing five million chips.

Big Pot for Haxton

Level 15 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Fabian Quoss opened for 125,000 and received calls from Isaac Haxton and Daniel Negreanu in the small and big blind respectively. When the flop fell {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, two checks put action on Quoss and he bet 200,000.

Haxton made the call, Negreanu folded, and it was heads-up action to the {7-Hearts} turn. Haxton checked for a second time, and Quoss kept the pressure on with a bet of 450,000. Haxton slid out a call and then both players returned to checking on the {5-Clubs} river.

Quoss tabled the {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens and a missed flush draw, but it was no good as Haxton held top pair with {a-}{k-}.
