Laliberté Eliminated by Haxton
Action folded around to Guy Laliberté on the button and he pushed out a raise to 140,000. Phil Galfond called from the small blind and action fell upon Isaac Haxton in the big blind. Haxton thought for about 30 seconds before dropping out a three-bet to 515,000. Without any hesitation, Laliberté instantly moved his stack all in for his last roughly 1.185 million. Galfond got out of the way and Haxton called.
Haxton: 
Laliberté: 
The dealer produced a 
flop, pairing Haxton's ten but keeping Laliberté's queens in the lead.
"That's a pretty good flop for me," said Haxton. "Let's see the five of spades."
Rather than the turn giving him a sweat, it gave him the lead with the 
for trip tens. Laliberté winced at the sight of Haxton's third ten and called for a queen on the river. Alas, it was the 
, giving Haxton a winning full house to eliminate Laliberté from play.
With this victory, Haxton is now up to 4.76 million in chips.
