Habegger Drills the Turn to Send Haxton Out and Leave Arieh Short
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Fernando Habegger had a pot-sized raise of 50,400 in front of him preflop from the hijack. He was called by David Benyamine in the cutoff, Isaac Haxton in early position, and Josh Arieh in middle position.
"Pick me!" Arieh said before the flop came.
The dealer brought 2♠9♠4♦ and the action checked to Habegger, who went all in for about 185,000. Benyamine folded, Haxton called all in, and Arieh called to put both players at risk.
Isaac Haxton: Q♥J♠10♥5♠
Fernando Habegger: A♣A♠7♠3♠
Josh Arieh: J♦9♥9♦8♥
The dealer had picked Arieh, who held the lead with a set of nines.
However, the A♥3♥ runout improved Habegger to a set of aces, and he scored the massive pot to eliminate Haxton.
