The hot streak continues for Isaac Haxton who captures his fourth live tournament victory of 2023 in U.S. Poker Open Event #8: $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em. Haxton topped the 54-entry field to collect $432,000.
“It’s been a good year,” Haxton said following the victory. “I think I was going to play more this year whether or not it went well. Though, certainly the fact that it has is a little additional motivation. I do plan to go to Monte Carlo and Cypress after this and I’ll probably be playing some stuff at the World Series. So yeah, I am mostly back.”
Haxton started the day second in chips, and it wasn’t until midway through Day 2 that he took the lead away from Dan Smith, but once he had it, he never let off the gas and cruised his way into the victory circle.
Haxton had to make his way through an absolutely stacked final table which featured Alex Foxen, Joey Weissman, Bill Klein, Phil Hellmuth, and start of day chip leader Dan Smith on his way to the win. (Read full story on PGT.com)
