Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Marc Foggin raised to 50,000 in the hijack before Anatoly Nikitin three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Foggin then four-bet to 375,000, and Nikitin called.
The flop came 9♥A♥8♣ and Foggin bet 85,000. Nikitin called, and they both checked down the 5♣ turn and 4♠ river.
Foggin turned over Q♠Q♥, and Nikitin mucked.
At another table, Yifan Tang raised to 60,000 on the button and Ezra Abu Gazal called in the big blind.
Tang continued for 30,000 on the 8♠8♣4♥ flop and Abu Gazal called.
The turn was the K♣ and Tang bet another 80,000. Abu Gazal again called to the 10♦ river, where Tang bet 185,000. Abu Gazal quickly called, andn Tang showed A♦8♦ for flopped trips to win the pot.
"He's running hot," tablemate Jon Kyte said.
