Isaac Haxton Down But Not Out
Preflop action folded to Isaac Haxton and he raised to 25,000 from the button.
David Peters then three-bet shoved all in, getting a fold from Justin Bonomo in his small blind and a snap call from Haxton.
The players tabled their hands, which showed Peters in the lead and needing to win the flip to stay alive.
Peters: [KcKh]
Haxton: [AsKs]
The board ran out clean for Peters, securing his double up and leaving Haxton on life support with 2,000.
The very next hand Haxton was all in the small blind with [Ac8c] against the [Kh7d] of Peters in the big blind.
The board ran out [Qc5d4s3h3d], which gave Haxton a few more chips, but still left him extremely short stacked.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| David Peters | 352,000 |
162,000 |
| Isaac Haxton | 12,000 |
-73,000 |
Justin Bonomo Dents Ali Imsirovic’s Stack
Ali Imsirovic made it 40,000 pre-flop from the small blind and Justin Bonomo called.
The flop came [Th9c5d] and Imsirovic checked. Bonomo cut out a bet of 25,000. After whiffing on the flop, Imsirovic reluctantly folded the hand that cost him nearly a third of his remaining stack.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Justin Bonomo | 375,000 |
40,000 |
| Ali Imsirovic | 85,000 |
-170,000 |
Stephen Chidwick Gets the Last of Brandon Adams’ Chips
Action folded to Brandon Adams in middle position and after he shoved all in for his last 75,000, he got a call from Stephen Chidwick in the big blind.
Adams tabled a pair, but unfortunately for him Chidwick tabled a bigger pair.
Adams: [4c4s]
Chidwick: [ThTd]
The board ran out [2hAcKs9h8s] and Adams was eliminated.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Stephen Chidwick | 235,000 |

| Brandon Adams | Busted |

Chop Pot Extends Alex Foxen’s Tournament Life
In a hand at the feature table, Alex Foxen and Rainer Kempe got it all-in pre-flop for Foxen’s tournament life. The dealer situated both players’ hole cards in the center of the table, and they were:
Kempe: [AsKd]
Foxen: [4s4c]
Foxen was in immediate trouble on the flop of [QcKhJc].
A [Td] on the turn gave Kempe Broadway but Foxen’s tournament was salvaged with a chop when the [Ad] fell on the river.
“That only seems fair to me,” Foxen told Kempe, predictably.
David Peters Triples, Cary Katz Eliminated
Cary Katz limped in for 4,000 and David Peters shoved from the small blind for 61,000.
Justin Bonomo isolated from the big blind for roughly 300,000, and after using a time extension bank, Katz called all in for roughly 130,000.
Peters: [9h9s]
Bonomo: [AdQd]
Katz: [KcQc]
The board ran out [4s9c8h2sTc] and Peters tripled up taking the main pot, while Bonomo won the side pot as Katz was eliminated.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Justin Bonomo | 335,000 |
15,000 |
| David Peters | 190,000 |

| Cary Katz | Busted | - |
Jake Schindler Regains Control of Hand as Justin Bonomo Lays it Down
Jake Schindler opened to 9,000 under the gun, prompting Justin Bonomo to three-bet to 23,000 from the cutoff. Schindler called and the two players saw a flop.
The flop came [9s4hTd] . Schindler checked, Bonomo bet 15,000, and Schindler made the call. On the [Kc] turn, both players checked.
When the [2h] came on the river, Schindler shipped it for his remaining 76,000, getting Bonomo to fold.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Justin Bonomo | 320,000 |
-28,000 |
| Jake Schindler | 160,000 |
-10,000 |
