Foxen Gets There to Leave Riess Short
Level 19
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 85,000 holding the

.
Riess took the lead on the 
flop and check-called a bet of 50,000. He then check-called one of 100,000 on the 
turn before the 
spiked on the river to give Foxen a bigger pair.
Both players checked and Foxen said, "Got there."
Indeed he did as Riess mucked after Foxen tabled his hand.
