Kelopuro vs Haxton
Kelopuro vs Haxton

Blinds 30,000-60,000

Elio Fox raise-folded to a three-bet by Andras Nemeth and Isaac Haxton did so when Seth Davies reraised to 288,000.

Joni Jouhkimainen then opened to 126,000 and Nemeth three-bet once more to 330,000 total. Jouhkimainen opted to fold as Nemeth chipped up uncontested.

Haxton raised the button to 141,000 only for Joao Vieira to successfully three-bet the big blind as the streak without any flops continued.

There was a flop, turn and river up next when Sami Kelopuro jammed for 422,061 in the hijack and Haxton called in the cutoff.

Sami Kelopuro: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Isaac Haxton: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the ten on the river kept Kelopuro in contention.
