Foxen Falls on Bubble

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Clemen Deng opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Alex Foxen three-bet to 140,000 in the small blind with just a few chips behind. Deng called.

Foxen checked dark on the flop of 822 and snap-called as Deng put him all in.

Alex Foxen: AQ All in
Clemen Deng: 85

Deng had outflopped Foxen and the board finished out 23 to mark the Event #7 champion's elimination on the money bubble.

Foxen helicoptered his cards and did the same thing with his time banks before hitting the rail.
