Foxen Bombs the River

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 10,000 in the middle and the board reading {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Alex Foxen was in the small blind and heads-up with the big blind. Foxen led out for 8,100 and his opponent called.

The river was the {k-Diamonds} and Foxen pushed out a bet of 64,300, leaving himself with just 100 chips behind. His opponent thought for his allotted 30 seconds and then flicked in a call. Foxen turned over {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a set of fives while his opponent could only muster {k-Spades}{2-Spades} for a pair of kings.

Adams Five-Bet Shoves

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Bart Lybaert opened to 3,600 in early position and James Chen just called in the cutoff. Timothy Adams three-bet to 12,500 from the small blind Lybaert quickly folded.

Chen, on the other hand, stuck in a four-bet to 26,000. Adams used his entire 30 seconds before announcing a five-bet all in. Chen was the player with the shorter stack and he used one of his time banks before sending his cards to the muck.
