Isaac Haxton Triumphs in APT Super High Roller, Seals Maiden Victory and Coveted Trophy!

Isaac Haxton proved once again why he is one of the world's best poker players after taking down the TWD 300,000 APT Super High Roller for TWD 9,089,650 (~$287,885) and getting his hands on the flagship pewter lion trophy.

Haxton came out on top of the 137-player (93 unique) field after defeating Tony Lin in a gripping heads-up contest that saw the runner-up add TWD 6,173,000 (~$195,500) to his bankroll.

The event saw its richest-ever prize pool of TWD 37,873,650 (~$1,200,000) and its second-biggest field size on record despite the buy-in being double what it usually is.

APT host Gregory "Greg Goes All In" Liow got a chance to talk to Haxton after the American player lifted his maiden APT title.

"This is awesome. A great start. I am definitely enjoying my entry into APT" replied Haxton when Liow remarked this was his first APT series, and first APT trophy.

"It was a wild heads-up match. Big pots every hand and a lot of back and forth."

Haxton added a few comments about the award-winning APT lion trophy.

"This is no joke of a trophy. I hope you're going to help me ship this because it's not fitting in my luggage" joked Haxton.

"Thanks to everyone who is watching and supporting me. This has been a lot of fun for me, and I hope you have enjoyed it"
