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 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.
