Thorel Takes Bigger Pot Off Foxen

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alex Foxen lost a pot to Jean-Noel Thorel, then got most of it back by moving all in only to lose even more chips to Thorel soon after.

Benjamin Pollak opened the action with a button raise to 130,000 and was called by both Thorel and Foxen. On the {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop, Thorel checked and Foxen bet 165,000, only Thorel called. The {9-Spades} on the turn was checked and the {7-Spades} appeared on the river. Thorel now bet 300,000 and Foxen was taken aback.

"This time I really think you are bluffing," Foxen said and eventually called after giving it quite some thought.

Thorel rolled over {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a straight and Foxen was left with fewer than 12 big blinds.
