Double blow for Haigh

Robert Haigh lost two pots in quick succession as two opponents took a significant bites out of his stack.

First the German pro raised from the button, got a call from big stack Alexander Freund and saw a draw-heavy 8♥9♥Q♣ flop dealt.

Freund check-called the CB and after the 9♣ earned checks from both players, the Austrian turned aggressor as J♣ hit the river. His 80,000 chip bet was enough to force Robert into folding.

The very next hand Haigh was on the wrong end of a pre-flopped raised pot again, as this time online qualifier Dawid Czatkowski check-raised all-in on a 4♦7♣K♦ flop having defended his big blind.

Haigh's cool exterior has shown no sign of cracking in the ensuing hands, but the double blow has edged him into dangerous territory nonetheless.
