Time Runs Out for Foxen

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

With just short of 4,000 in the pot and the flop showing {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} Michael Addamo checked his option from the hijack. Alex Foxen was seated on the button and bet 2,700. Addamo thought for 20-seconds before re-raising to 6,800. Foxen took just as long to match the raise.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and Addamo once again used up most of his 30-second allocated time before firing out 12,000. Foxen studied the board, but didn't match the bet, as his time ran out forcing his hand to the muck.
