Isaac “Ike” Haxton bagged his second GGPoker SuperMillion$ title this week, scooping the $448,842 top prize after outlasting 221 other entries to the $10,3000 buy-in online tournament.
The final table saw Haxton joined by fellow highstakes poker heavyweights Mikita Badziakouski , who came in as chip leader, and Wiktor ‘Limitless’ Malinowski .
Malinowski, who took down the SHRB Europe Main Event last September for a monster $3.69 million payday, was one of the early casualties.
♠ ♣ ♦ ♥
With less than 10 BBs, Malinowski opened for all bar one of them, with Belarus crusher Badziakouski going all-in from the small blind, leaving the Polish pro at risk…
Malinowski: A♠ J♥
Badziakouski: A♦ Q♠
Flop: 7♣ 6♥ 4♥
Turn: Q♣
River: 2♥
That meant 7th spot and $94,357 for Malinowski, who was followed to the rail by Konstantin Maslak when a clash of aces with Ike Haxton saw him lose out.One of the anonymous accounts bagged 5th spot and $155,689, “joyeux” losing a race with pocket deuces against Andreas Nasman’s KQ.It took a while for the podium spots to be filled, and it was Badziakouski who missed out when his big slick was outgunned on the flop by Haxton’s king-ten, 4th place and $205,795 for Mikita when the turn and river both bricked.Haxton’s good fortune continued when he cracked Nasman’s pocket kings, open-shoving on the river and landing the flush he required, leaving him heads-up against last week’s GGPoker SuperMillion$ runner-up Pablo Brito Silva.A topsy-turvey heads-up battle finally ended in Haxton’s favour with another race, this time pocket treys needing to hold up for the win…Haxton: 3♦ 3♣ Silva: A♥ Q♣ Flop: 10♥ 9♦ 5♦ Turn: 2♥ River: K♦♠ ♣ ♦ ♥Pablo Brito Silva’s second runner-up spot in a row was worth $346,104 while Haxton’s second victory saw him pocket $448,842.
