Foxen Takes Back From Katz With Interest

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Catching action on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades} Alex Foxen had a bet of 15,000 in front of him when Cary Katz raised, making it 49,500. Foxen thought for a bit, then called.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} and both players slowed down with a check.

On the {6-Diamonds} river, Foxen put out a monster-sized bet of 118,500. Katz dropped into the tank. He used a time extension to think through his decision.

"What a sick turn," Katz said. "Worst card in the deck."

Katz eventually called. Foxen showed his {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and it was good to best the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} of Katz.

"You got lucky," Katz said. "Really lucky. What kind of turn is that?"
