Seat 2: Isaac Haxton, USA -- 1,395,000
Isaac Haxton starts the day fifth in chips, and a win would be his fourth cash over a million dollars. His best cash to date came back in 2014 when he finished second in the Aussie Millions $250,000 Challenge for $2,525,841.
Haxton currently sits 32nd on the all-time money list, but a win would put him in the top 20. More than that, a win would no doubt be even more of a personal accomplishment considering in his successful poker career, he still only has one first-place finish. It came way back in 2010 when he won a $2,500 buy in tournament for $127,069.
Haxton put out his best performance at the EPT tables in 2012 when he made two final tables in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. At first he final tabled the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 8 Max Turbo event and placed third taking home more than $35,000. Then just a couple of days later he did the same in the $25,000 High Roller event, only this time he collected ten times that, $380,730.
That means if Haxton isn't the first player out, he will earn his largest EPT cash to date. But what about his runner-up finish in the 2007 PCA Main Event to Ryan Daut? That was a nice $861,789 payday, but if you recall back then the PCA was part of the EPT.
