Haxton Folds River To Dwan

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Dwan raised to 67,000 from the hijack seat, and only Isaac Haxton called out of the big blind. The flop came down {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and Haxton check-called a bet of 105,000 from Dwan to see the {9-Clubs} land on the turn. Haxton checked again, and Dwan didn't slow down. He fired 255,000, and Haxton called.

The river was the {A-Hearts} to complete the board, and Haxton checked. Dwan began counting out chips, and then he fired 590,000 into the pot. Haxton only took a little time to fold, and Dwan scooped the pot.

Props

While the film crew was setting up, Tom Dwan was feverishly writing on a notepad. He and Phil Ivey were talking to one another, and the word "prop" was used.

In layman's terms, a "prop" is a side bet about what cards will come on the flop. Each player can pick a three-card combo, and earn big money if it comes. Dwan and Ivey famously played props on televised cash games like High Stakes Poker, and if we get anymore information as to who has what, we will certainly pass it along.

Full House for Haxton

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Dwan opened with a raise to 607,000 from the hijack seat, and Fabian Quoss called from the cutoff seat. Isaac Haxton called from the big blind, and the flop came down {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. After Haxton and Dwan checked, Quoss bet 100,000. Haxton called, and Dwan folded.

The turn was checked by both players after the {K-Spades} landed, and then the {K-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Haxton led for 200,000, and Quoss called.

Haxton tabled the {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a full house, and Quoss mucked his hand.

Altergott First Final Table Casualty

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Max Altergott
Max Altergott

Last week Max Altergott won the $25,000 Challenge (after a five-way chop of course), but he won't be finding anymore success here as he was just eliminated by Tom "durrrr" Dwan.

It happened when Dwan opened for 67,000 and Altergott called from the big blind. When the flop came down {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, Altergott moved his short stack in and Dwan snap-called.

Dwan: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Altergott: {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Altergott had flopped top pair, but it was still behind the pocket tens of Dwan. Neither the {4-Clubs} turn nor {6-Clubs} river helped Altergott, and he was eliminated from the tournament in eighth place and no money.
