Klodnicki Can't Kill the Fox

David Fox

Chris Klodnicki raised to 20,000 from the hijack seat before action folded around to David Fox in the big blind. Fox announced a raise all in.

"How much is it?" questioned Klodnicki.

"85,500," responded Fox.

"What are the blinds?" asked Klodnicki, looking over to the tournament clock displayed on the projector screen. After a moment passed, he said, "All right, I call."

Showdown:
Fox: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Klodnicki: {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Fox had the best hand going into the flop, but Klodnicki soon pulled ahead when it came {9-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Don't go anywhere just yet though, because the turn put Fox back in the lead with the {Q-Clubs}. The dealer burned one last time and dealt the {J-Clubs} on the river.

We're not sure if it's from playing so long or simply because Klodnicki has been running so hot throughout the entire event, but many of the players thought Fox lost the hand somehow. Truth was, his pair of queens were the best hand and earned him a double up.
