Foxen Wins With Sevens

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

There was around 7,000 in the pot and action was on Alex Foxen in the big blind on a board reading {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. He was facing a bet of 4,400 from the cutoff and studying his opponent with great intent. He eventually put out a call and the two saw the {3-Diamonds} river. Action went check-check.

"Seven," Foxen said as he turned over the {7-Spades}. His opponent waited for him to turn his other card over, the {j-Spades} and proceeded to send his hand into the muck.

After the hand, Foxen's opponent asked him if he would have called another barrel. Foxen told him it would have sent him into the tank and that he would have had to think about it. He followed it up with another mention that he really would have had to think about it if he were put to the decision

Brand Cracks Jacks to Stay Alive

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Dennis Brand moved all in for his last 3,000 in chips and he was called by the player sitting directly to his left.

Dennis Brand: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Brand needed to hit one of his two overcards to stay alive and he did just that after the flop came {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Brand just needed to dodge a jack with one card left to come.

The dealer put the {6-Hearts} on the river and Brand was able to get the win and a much needed double up.

Osterman Out-Flops Opponent, Sends Him Packing

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Two-way action headed to the flop with Brady Osterman's opponent at risk of elimination.

Osterman: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Osterman was trailing his opponent until a flop of {3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Hearts} came. Osterman had flopped two-pair but his opponent was far from out as he flopped the nut flush draw along with top pair.

The {10-Spades} on the turn added more outs to Osterman's opponent as he now added a broadway straight draw to his countless outs going to the river.

The dealer put a brick on the river as it came out the {9-Spades} and Osterman eliminated his opponent.
