Haxton Off to an Early Lead
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Timothy Adams raised to 5,000 in early position, Isaac Haxton flatted in middle position, and Tamas Adamszki called in the small blind.
The flop of K♠J♦2♦ checked through to the 5♥ turn. Adamszki checked, Adams bet 14,000, Haxton called, and Adamszki folded.
On the 8♠ river, both players checked and Haxton turned over A♠J♥ for a pair of jacks, besting the 5♠4♠ of Adams.
