Day 2: Chuong cripples Wixon; Wixon out in 29th

Written by Kirk | Mar 10, 2025 2:00:00 AM

Dakota Wixon raises to 60k and Andrew Lee calls before Eunice Chuong jams her 5♠5♣ for 385k and Wixon calls with K♣Q♣. Chuong’s fives remain best on the flop but Wixon is drawing at two overs and a flush draw on the board of 7♠7♣6♣. The 8♦ on the turn reduces some club outs for Wixon as Chuong turns open-ended but the 5♥ river secures the double up for Chuong and the players effectively swap stacks.

A few hands later, Wixon is facing a 65k open from Chris McCauley's CO. Wixon defends his BB with K♦5♦ and finds middle pair on a flop of A♥5♥2♦. Wixon jams into McCauley for 100k and McCauley calls with top pair. McCauley's A♠Q♣ holds on a runout of 5♥2♦ and Wixon is eliminated in 29th for $3,170.
