Foxen Adds to His Piles

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Alex Foxen was in the big blind, checking the {5-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop when we arrived. A player two seats to Foxen's left fired 4,200 and a raise to 15,000 followed from middle position. Foxen called and the first bettor called off for his 13,500 total.

The side pot remained the same after the {Q-Diamonds} turn but Foxen led out a small 6,000-bet on the {2-Spades} river. He earned a call and showed the {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for flopped top two. The all in player exposed {K-}{Q-} before heading out of the room while the third player flashed what looked like {A-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Foxen took down the pot, scoring an elimination on the way. He's now playing 287,000.

Wang Puts Gray to the Test

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

The action folded around to Jonathan Gray who raised it up on the button. Michael Wang was in the big blind and three-bet to 6,200. Gray called and the two went heads-up to a flop of {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Wang led out for 7,000 and Gray called to see the {2-Diamonds} fall on the turn. Wang slid in a stack of T5,000 chips, enough to put Gray to the test for his remaining 31,500. Gray thought for a minute and then pushed his cards face down to the muck.

John Hesp bet 3,000 on a {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop and opponent Daniel Colpoys called.

The river was the {7-Spades} and both players checked. Hesp showed a {k-Hearts}.

"King any good?" asked Hesp.

Colpoys waited for Hesp to show the {j-Clubs} as well.

"Yes," said Colpoys, "But that one wasn't," pointing at the jack and indicating he had {k-}{10-}.

Arends and Markholt Clash

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

The player in the under-the-gun position raised and Lee Markholt (cutoff), Allen Cunningham (small blind) and Jans Arends in the big blind called.

They all checked through the {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop to the {4-Hearts} on the turn. Cunningham checked, Arends bet 3,000. Only Markholt called.

The river completed the board with the {2-Spades} on which Arends continued with a bet of 7,000. Markholt folded.

The hand right after, Emile Schiff raised to 2,000 from late position and was called by Markholt in the hijack, Arend in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, both Arends, the big blind, and Schiff checked. Markholt bet 4,000. Arends raised to 11,000 without hesitation and picked up the whole pot as the rest quickly folded.
