Haxton Doubles Up

With the board reading {8-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, Isaac Haxton bet 5,000 -- only for the player currently occupying Ted Lawson's original seat to raise to cover him. After a moment's sighing, Haxton called, and discovered that he was ahead.

Haxton: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Occupier Of The Lawson Seat: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}

River: {7-Diamonds}

Haxton duly doubled up to around 30,000. "Thanks," he said as he raked in the chips, although whether this was directed at the dealer or his opponent is uncertain.
