Player Makes Epic Hero Call Against Alex Foxen in Triton ONE Main Event
Level 4
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Brazil's Alisson Piekazewicz has to be feeling good about himself after making an epic hero call against one of the toughest opponents on the felt: Alex Foxen.
The bold play took place during Day 1A of the $8,000 Triton ONE Main Event on South Korea's Jeju island, the marquee attraction of the first-ever Triton ONE festival catering to the next generation of star poker players.
Small pairs are always tricky to play without making a set or better, but Piekazewicz had no trouble with pocket fours against the high-stakes pro with $51.4 million in Hendon Mob earnings. Piekazewicz is no slouch himself and has $2.1 million in live earnings, including a victory at European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo earlier this year that earned him $208,626.
