Haxton & Deeb Flop the Nuts
Level 22
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Alex Foxen made it 1,050,000 from under the gun with Isaac Haxton calling on the button, and Shaun Deeb calling out of the small blind.
The flop of 5♠6♥9♣ was checked to Haxton, who bet 950,000. Deeb check-raised to 4,100,000, and Foxen folded. Haxton jammed to put Deeb all in, and Deeb quickly called.
Shaun Deeb: A♠J♣8♠7♣
Isaac Haxton: Q♣10♦8♣7♦
Both players flopped the nut straight, but Haxton had a redraw to a higher straight if he could spike a seven or eight on the turn. The rest of the board ran out 9♦J♥, which meant they chopped the pot.
