Branscun Eliminates Foley

Erick Torres

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The chips got in on the flop of 9♥7♦J♦ with Roger Foley all-in and at risk for approximately 88,000 against Lenn Branscun.

Roger Foley: J♠8♥ All in
Lenn Branscun: K♠J♥

Foley held top pair plus a straight draw, and he needed to improve, as Branscun held the best hand with a pair of jacks and a better kicker.

Foley failed to improve on the A♠ turn and the 3♦ river to be eliminated from contention late on Day 1c.
