Just the tail end of a pot here, but one definitely worth a mention.

Justin Bonomo and Isaac Haxton were heads-up on the river of a 9h5s3d7c3h board. Justin Bonomo checked from under the gun, and Haxton moved all in for 363,000 effective. He had the slightly larger stack, and his bet was just more than the size of the pot.

Bonomo spent a short while in the tank, then said, “I don’t think I can fold.” With that, he called to put himself at risk.

Haxton showed JcJh, but Bonomo tabled AcAh to win the huge pot with aces up.

Haxton was left with less than 35,000 chips, and he was eliminated a moment later.

Bonomo, on the other hand, moved into contention for the chip lead with that monster double.

Justin Bonomo – 950,000
Isaac Haxton – Eliminated
