For My Next Act!

Issac Haxton
Issac Haxton
There was a call of "All in and call on Table 66!" and as the camera crews and reporters hacked their way across the room Isaac Haxton stood up and said, "Come watch me suck out on Nick Binger!"

Binger held A-K, Haxton had K-10, so a suckout it would take for Haxton to stay in the Main Event. And suck out he did--the flop came down {4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Haxton hit another Ten on the river to add insult to injury. He's now up to 65,000.

Jesse Chinni Likes Broadway

With 40,000 in the pot on the flop, Jesse Chinni's opponent bet 20,000 on the turn with the board reading {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Holding the nuts with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, he raised to 50,000.

"All-in" said his opponent. Chinni quickly called and tabled his Broadway straight, while his opponent turned over T-T for a set. The {9-Hearts} hit the river and Chinni took down the monster pot.

Chinni was up to 240,000 after the hand.

Gus Hansen Likes 420

Ever since Gus Hansen won a race with pocket deuces against A-J, he's been on a tear. His opponent said that Hansen was a "sick puppy" for making that call.

Hansen just won another pot. He's among the chip leaders and sitting on a stack worth 420,000.

Although Gus Hansen has won four World Poker Tour titles and has earned almost $5 million in tournaments, he has never won a bracelet at the WSOP.

PokerNews Video: Gavin Smith

PokerNews caught up with Gavin Smith, who started the day a little short-stacked but now has over 150,000 in chips, on break from the Main Event. Gavin seems to think Tiffany is bad luck as he had unfortunate turns of events just after his last two interviews with her, but it seems that Gavin is doing well now, so we may have broken that streak.
