Haxton Saves One Bet With a Correct Laydown
2-7 Triple Draw
Isaac Haxton looked down at 
on the button and raised it up. Stephen Chidwick had 
in the small blind, three-betting. Haxton called and Chidwick took one. Haxton decided to break his nine and took one, drawing for the wheel.
Both players drew high cards and Chidwick continued betting, earning a call from Haxton. They both drew an ace on the second draw and the action slowed down as Chidwick and Haxton both checked.
Chidwick picked up a five to hit his eighty-six on the last draw while Haxton made ten-low. Chidwick checked to his opponent who went for value. Chidwick, however, woke up with a check-raise which wasn't a good news for Haxton. The American pro still managed to convince himself to fold the ten-seven, correctly saving 240,000.
