Foxen Squeezes with a Jam

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in late position open-shoved for 1,400 finding callers in the player on the button and the player in the small blind. The action came to late-entry, Alex Foxen, who three-bet shoved for about 20,000 forcing both flatters to release.

Alex Foxen: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

A {q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs} run out sent the pot to Foxen and his opponent hit the rail.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} sending Cousineau to the rail, his stack chopped up between his two opponents.

O'Neill Doubles Through Farrell

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

With about 6,000 in the middle, Debbie O'Neill fired a bet worth 3,600 on the turn of a {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board, and Niall Farrell made the call. The {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river and O'Neill moved all in for 7,500. Farrell quickly called only to see O'Neill table the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

Farrell mucked leaving himself with just five big blinds and busted on the next hand.
