Haxton Calls Two Bets When Drawing Dead

Level 18

Razz

Chris Vitch: {6-}{3-} / {9-}{8-}{4-}{5-} / {4-}
Isaac Haxton: {4-}{2-} / {10-}{Q-}{9-}{A-} / {10-}

Chris Vitch completed and called when Isaac Haxton made it two bets. Haxton drew a high card on fourth street and Vitch took over the aggression. He fired on every street with his board showing nine-high. Haxton was already drawing dead on sixth street as Vitch had it locked up with his eight-six. Haxton, however, shipped two more big bets to Vitch as he called on sixth and seventh.

Haxton Paid Off by Vitch

Level 18

NLH

Chris Vitch limped from the small blind with the {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Isaac Haxton checked his option peeling the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

After Vitch checked a {q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, Haxton bet 50,000 and Vitch called. Haxton continued with a bet of 300,000 when the {9-Spades} hit the turn and Vitch check-called once again.

The {10-Hearts} landed on the river and Haxton fired a bet of 675,000. Vitch required a timebank chip and eventually made the call, mucking when Haxton showed him the goods.

Haxton Runs into the Blades

Level 17

NLH

Isaac Haxton opened the button to 110,000 with {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and big blind Chris Vitch looked down at {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. Vitch made it 375,000 to go and Haxton double-checked his cards before calling.

The {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} connected with Haxton who decided to take over the aggression after Vitch continued with a small bet of 225,000. Haxton raised it up to 525,000 and Vitch comfortably called.

They saw the {Q-Clubs} hit the turn. Vitch checked to Haxton who fired only 450,000. Vitch had the nut-flush draw and called again. The {8-Hearts} completed the board and Vitch checked once again but Haxton was done with betting, refusing to invest any more chips. He checked behind and nodded when he saw Vitch roll over his aces.

Vitch Pays Haxton Off in Stud

Level 17

Stud

Isaac Haxton: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} / {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Spades} / {K-Spades}
Chris Vitch: {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} / {9-Clubs}

Chris Vitch completed with an ace in the door and bring-in Isaac Haxton two-bet with a nine out. Both players checked
on third before Vitch hit third heart on his board. He led out on fifth and Haxton called with a double gutshot.

Vitch checked after Haxton's board showed a third spade card on sixth street, which also happened to give Haxton a straight. Haxton fired in position and Vitch stuck around for the river, drawing for a flush.

Vitch added the {9-Clubs} to his hole cards, pairing his nine. It was a puzzling card considering Haxton's two-bet with a nine out. Haxton naturally bet his strong hand but Vitch didn't find his way out, holding the nine blockers. He called to see Haxton's jack-high straight.

Vitch Can't Fold Ten-Perfect, Leaves Chip Lead to Haxton

Level 17

2-7 Triple Draw

Isaac Haxton had four cards eight or lower on the button and he raised it up. Chris Vitch defended with two wheel cards. Vitch drew three and checked while Haxton changed one and immediately improved to eighty-seven.

Vitch check-called and check-called again after Haxton stood pat. He kept drawing one and hit a ten-perfect on the last draw. Haxton fired again in position and Vitch knew he was in a tough spot. He burned one of his time extensions but eventually couldn't convince himself to fold. He paid to see Haxton roll over his {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Haxton took over the lead, getting one big bet ahead of Vitch.
