Haxton Spikes a Double

Barry Greenstein raised in the cutoff and after quite a bit of thought, Isaac Haxton three-bet from the small blind. Greenstein re-raised and Haxton called all in to put his tournament life at risk.

Greenstein: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Haxton: {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

The flop was a kind one to Haxton as it came {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} to pull him into the lead. Greenstein would need to hit a ten or some kind of running straight or flush cards to eliminate Haxton. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn meant that Haxton would have to avoid a ten or a queen now to survive. The river was the {8-Clubs} and Haxton won the hand to double up.
