Foxen Lasts Two Hands

Level 1 : 100/200, 100 ante

On just the second hand of the tournament, Alex Foxen and Erik Seidel decided to play a 500 big blind pot. With around 5,000 in the middle, the dealer fanned the flop of {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Seidel led out from under the gun for 2,200 and Foxen raised to 6,500 on the button. Seidel stuck in a three-bet to 15,000 and Foxen called. The turn brought the {4-Spades} and Seidel announced all in for 32,600, marginally more than Foxen's stack. After two time extensions, Foxen made the call.

Seidel tabled {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a set of tens but Foxen had outs with {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a straight and flush draw. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Seidel held on to send Foxen for a quick re-buy.
