Two Bets Gets It Done for Foxen

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Schulman was first to act and raised to 6,500, which was called by Cherish Andrews in the cutoff, Kristen Foxen on the button, and Michael Berk in the big blind.

After the flop came 7310 it was checked to Foxen on the button, and she bet out 10,000. Berk called, Schulman mucked, and Andrews called as well.

After the 4 on the turn, Foxen fired another bet when it was checked to her, this time 40,000. Berk gave it some thought before folding, and Andrews followed behind to give the pot to Foxen.

Laskowitz Finds a Double

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Aram Oganyan in the small bind, and he raised to put Sam Laskowitz in the big blind all in for 21,000, which he quickly called to put himself at risk.

Sam Laskowitz: A8 All in
Aram Oganyan: 97

Oganyan said "I'm live!" when the cards were tabled, and despite Laskowitz flopping trips on the 8J8 flop, Oganyan was still live after flopping a straight draw, and turning an open-ended straight draw after the 6 on the turn. But the river was the 3 and Laskowitz secured the double up with his trip eights.

Hendrix Wants it All

Level 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brock Wilson raised to 5,500 from under the gun, which was called by Adam Hendrix in the hijack, and the big blind Joao Simao.

After the flop came 1026 Simao checked to Wilson, and he bet out 7,500. Hendrix called and Simao folded.

The turn brought the 3, and Wilson bet again, this time 24,000. Hendrix then took some time and raised all in for the extra 85,000 Wilson had behind. But Wilson quickly mucked to give the pot to Hendrix.

Foxen Flops It

Level 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kristen Foxen
Kristen Foxen

Action was picked up on the river with the board showing 8Q693 and roughly 85,000 in the pot.

Michael Brinkenhoff checked from under the gun position to Kristen Foxen on the button, who bet out 80,000. Brinkenhoff didn't think too long and flipped in a chip to call.

Foxen tabled A7 for the nut flush, and Brinkenhoff said "well I can't beat that" and tossed his cards in the muck to give the pot to Foxen.
