A High Five Saves Drinan's Tournament Life
Level 21
: 50,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Connor Drinan raised all in for 1.3 million under the gun and Isaac Haxton hit the tank for more than a minute before calling from the button. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.
Haxton: 
Drinan: 
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down 
. Haxton paired his jack and took a commanding lead; in fact, Drinan needed one of the two remaining fives in the deck to stay alive. The 
turn wasn't it, but the 
river was.
"Wow," Haxton said while Drinan sat motionless.
