Isaac Haxton Takes From Andrew Pantling
At the start of Level 10, Andrew Pantling was the Event #1 chip leader. He is still working a top-5 stack, but Isaac Haxton is now over 1,000,000 after picking up a sizable pot with pocket aces.
Action was picked up on the flop, with Pantling betting 68,000 from the big blind. Haxton called and Mark Davis folded. Pantling then continued with another bet on the turn, which is pictured below.
Haxton called and after the board paired on the river, both players checked. Pantling elected to not fire the river with his missed draw, and Haxton took the pot with aces up.
Haxton is now one of two players with seven-figure stacks – the other being Andreas Torbergsen.
