Haxton Jams Into Azoulay
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Joining the action on the 10♣7♣4♣ flop, a bet by Jonathan Azoulay for 75,000 out of the small blind was called by Isaac Haxton on the button. The 4♦ fell on the turn and Azoulay now checked, which prompted a pot-sized bet worth 320,000 by Haxton and the reluctant call by Azoulay.
Fast forward to the 7♠ river, Azoulay checked again and Haxton bet the pot for 930,000. That had his opponent covered and Azoulay burned through all of his five available time banks before he folded and flashed the A♣J♥5♣Xx for the ace-high flush.
Haxton briefly showed him pocket tens for a full house and Azoulay was relieved before heading into the Day 2 dinner break.
