Fox Slain

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Elio Fox's hopes of adding a European Poker Tour title to his World Series of Poker Europe main event bracelet have been left in tatters as he has just been eliminated from this tournament by Steven Thomsen.

A preflop raising war broke out that resulted in Fox being all-in and at risk of elimination but he held the upper hand as in his hand was the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and he was up against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} of Thomsen. The dealer burned a card before putting the {2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop onto the board, the fact there were two diamonds drawing some oohs and aahs from those seated at the table.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Fox was on course for a much needed double up but the {Q-Diamonds} on the river completed the flush for Thomsen and Fox was sent to the rail.
