Part 4 of 5 of the highlights from the Isildur1 vs Isaac “philivey2694” Haxton match-up is shown with some great featured hands.
Right off the bat in this video we see a pot of a modest $400 with a very interesting board of 6c 8c 7c 6s. Isildur1 led out for $300 on the turn and Haxton made the call, which created a $1,000 pot. The river was an intriguing 8d. Isildur1 then went to his trademark move, a massive overbet on the river to the tune of $2,250 into $1,000. Haxton took plenty of time to make his decision and this hand, unofficially, represented one of his longest tank jobs. In the end, he elected to fold.
The next feature hand shown was a real doozy. With Haxton on the button and with a massive chip lead at the table (more than 4-to-1), Haxton min-raised to $200. Isildur1 made the call, which brought a 6d 2s 4d flop. Isildur1 then checked and Haxton continuation bet $200 into the $400 pot. Isildur1 raised to $800 and Haxton called. With the turn of a 8d that filled a potential flush draw for either player, Isildur1 then bet $1,600 into the $2,000 pot. Haxton, in response, made the call. The river was the Qh and it didn’t take long at all for Isildur1 to shove his remaining $7,500 as yet another overbet into the pot of $5,200. At this point Haxton was getting less than 2-to-1 to call against this river shove. Nevetheless, Haxton made the call and Isildur1 showed Jd Kd for a flush while Haxton showed 6c 6h for a flopped set. This hand is a bit of a cooler for Haxton, who saw $20,200 shipped over to Isildur1.
