Defending Champ Foxen Eliminated After Action Flop
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
It folded to Alex Foxen in the small blind, and he limped in, and Pedro Padilha checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 4♣5♦6♦ and Foxen checked to Padilha, who bet out 80,000. Foxen then raised to 185,000, and Padilha responded with a three-bet for Foxen's stack of 685,000, which he called.
Alex Foxen: 7♥6♠ 
Pedro Padilha: K♦3♦
It was an action flop, with Foxen ahead with his pair, but would need to fade the straight draw and flush draw of Padilha. But the 2♥ brought the straight in, and Foxen couldn't hit own straight after the 9♠ on the river, sending the defending champ to the rail.
