Haugen Hacking Away

With the betting folded around to the blinds, chip leader Matthew Haugen moved all in from the small blind. The big blind had just 110,000 chips left, and he made the call to put himself at risk, turning over {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. Seemingly content to flip for his double up, he watched as Haugen tabled {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, and the race was on.

The flop was clean and safe for the at-risk player as it came {6-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. The {10-Spades} on the turn was safe as well, but the {8-Diamonds} that rivered was a soul crusher. Haugen pairs his overcard, picking up the knockout and moving up dangerously close to the two-million-chip mark. He's got 1.97 million by our count.
