was checked round to Haxton who bet 8,000 before Aldemir check-raised to 25,000. Einhorn folded, and Holz called before Haxton contemplated his decision.

Koon flipped over 
for a whiffed combo draw, and Rast showed 
"No more river tanks now, boys," he said with a smile as he dragged the pot. "Only 30 seconds from here on out."
