Fox Four-Bet Shoves

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Elio Fox opened for 13,000 in middle position and got called by David Eldridge before Julien Martini in the cutoff made it 56,000. When it got back to Fox, he got a count of everyone's remaining stack before he shoved all in covering them both. Eldridge folded right away and Martini took a little longer before smiling and giving it up.

Lewis Folds to Becker's River Raise

Level 6 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} on the board, Toby Lewis bet 40,000 into about 120,000 from the big blind. Johannes Becker, under the gun, made it 160,000 and Lewis went deep into the tank. He used three time extensions then folded his hand, with Sam Soverel reaching over and pretending he was going to turn over Becker's hand as he scooped the pot.

Negreanu Finishes Off Robl

Level 6 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded around to Barry Hutter on the button who raised it up to 10,000. Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 57,000 from the small blind and Andrew Robl four-bet shoved all in for 96,000 in the big blind. Hutter quickly folded and Negreanu called to put Robl at risk.

Daniel Negreanu: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Andrew Robl: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip but Negreanu took a massive lead on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. The {q-Hearts} on the turn gave Robl a straight draw but the {3-Clubs} on the river quickly sent him to the rail.

Sergio Aido has returned for his second bullet and has taken a seat at the same table with a new stack of 300,000 chips.
