Level 25 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Isaac Haxton Eliminated in 4th Place ($518,882)

Level 25 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Hand #53: Ben Yu opened with a raise to 750,000 from the cutoff. Isaac Haxton moved all in for 3,700,000. Ben Yu instantly called.

Issac Haxton: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Ben Yu: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Yu had the best of it with the better kicker while Haxton needed to catch up somehow. The flop was {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} which changed nothing but Haxton did pick up extra outs on the {4-Hearts} turn as he could now catch a straight. The river was the {K-Diamonds}, though, and that changed nothing.

Haxton hit the rail in fourth place and, for his run, he collected $518,882.
