Hand #3: Andrew Robl Doubles Up

Howard Lederer has the button. Justin Bonomo raises to 16,000. Andrew Robl reraises to 42,000. Lederer reraises to 142,000. Bonomo folds. Robl is all in and Lederer calls.

It's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for Lederer and {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for Robl. The flop is {Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades}. The turn is the {10-Clubs} and the crowd goes wild! Lederer needs an A or a J. The river is the {8-Spades} and Robl doubles through Lederer.

On the second hand of the final table, Isaac Haxton has been eliminated.

Haxton opened with a raise to 18,000 from middle position. Erick Lindgren reraised to 60,000 from the button, and Haxton reraised his remaining 70,000 or so all in. Lindgren made the call.

Haxton showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}, and Lindgren showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The board ran out {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and Haxton hit the rail early.

Lindgren is now up to 439,000.

That's Unusual

By far the largest and loudest contingent of poker fans in the audience, surprisingly enough, is for Andrew "Good2Cu" Robl. Expect much loudness when something good happens for him.

Friends to a Point

Since a few of these final table players (including Justin Bonomo and David Williams) are already good friends, the mood at the table is light and jovial, like a home game would be. Make no mistake, though - after the "Shuffle Up and Deal" happens, it will be all business.
