Aido Takes Down Foxen's Aces in Four-Bet Pot
Level 11
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 18,000, which was called by Alexandros Theologis in the cutoff. Sergio Aido three-bet to 62,000 on the button, then it folded back to Foxen, who put in a four-bet to 106,000. Theologis folded, but Aido made the call.
The flop came K♦3♥4♦ and Aido called a bet of 32,000 from Foxen.
After the 5♥ on the turn, Foxen bet 162,000, covering Aido, who called to put his tournament at risk.
Sergio Aido: K♠Q♥ 
Alex Foxen: A♥A♣
Aido flopped top pair but still needed help as he had run into the pocket aces of Foxen. He found that help when the Q♦ hit the river, giving Aido two pair to secure the double-up, cracking Foxen's aces, and saving his tournament life.
