Emil Patel raised to 900 under the gun and picked up callers in Isaac Haxton and [Removed:17], who were in the cutoff and small blind respectively. The flop saw Haxton bet 1,600 after both his opponents checked, and only Patel called to see the turn.
Both players checked, and then did the same on the river. Patel showed an ace-high flush with the .
"Yeah, I don't beat that," Haxton admitted and mucked his hand.
Despite losing in that pot, both Yan and Haxton are up since the last time we checked in on them.

In a blind battle we picked up the action with the flop showing when Noah Schwartz bet 11,700 from the small blind. Ole Schemion, in the big blind, made the call and on the turn the hit.
Schwartz paused before moving all in on the turn, and Schemion called right away to risk his whole stack.
Schemion:
Schwartz:
The river was the , giving Schemion a winning set of kings, and Schwartz jumped out of his chair in disgust. Schwartz paced around for a bit before Jeff Rossiter called him over, as he had 11,000 chips left to play with.
Schwartz took a big hit and Schemion's off to a good start here on Day 1 of the High Roller.
