Viox Collects

Chris Viox has had an impressive World Series of Poker showing this year so far. An eighth place finish in Event 37: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix, a 15th place finish in Event 18: $2,500 Seven Card Razz, and a 64th place finish in Event 11: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. All of that combined with Viox winning a bracelet last year in Event #25: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better tells us one thing, the man can player poker.

We recently caught up to him making it 225 from the cut-off preflop. The button called, and the small blind followed suit.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} prompting checks from both the small blind and Viox. The button however bet out 675. Both the small blind and Viox made the call and we were off to the turn.

After the {q-Diamonds} landed on the turn, the small blind bet out 2,000. Both remaining players made the call.

A {3-Diamonds} on the river brought a check from the small blind and a bet of 5,000 from the sleeping giant Viox. The button then folded, and the small blind took his time, but eventually folded as well.
