Haxton's Jacks

Isaac Haxton raised from the cutoff and Anh Van Nguyen called from the big blind. Van Nguyen checked the raggedy {5-Spades}

flop, Haxton bet, Van Nguyen check-raised, and Haxton called. The {Q-Spades}

came on the turn, and both checked. The river brought the {Q-Diamonds}

, Van Nguyen bet, and Haxton called.

Van Nguyen showed 8-8, and Haxton showed {J-Clubs}

to take the pot. Haxton is up to 75,000. Van Nguyen is down to 7,500.
