Simone Petrini raised to 16,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Isaac Haxton on the button. Haxton pushed out a three-bet to 40,000 and it went back to Petrini who called.
The two saw a spade-friendly flop - 
. Petrini wasted no time with a bet of 45,000 and Haxton called. The 
rolled off on the turn, putting four connecting spades on the board.
Petrini slowed down with a check and Haxton moved 85,000 into the middle. Petrini sat thinking for about ninety seconds before announcing that he was all in.
"I call I have a straight flush!" Haxton said in one breath. He rolled over 
for the nuts.
Petrini showed 
for top set on the flop and shook his head at his misfortune. The 
completed the board and Haxton was able to scoop a pot that boosts him into the chip lead.
