Not only did Isaac Haxton get a walk in the big blind the first hand back, but as his opponents were folding he received yet another offer of more free Jack Link's Beef Jerky from a smiling member of the Rio staff.

Haxton took the blinds and antes, but turned down the dried meat snacks. We did just come back from dinner.
