Foxen Among the Chip Leaders

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player on the button opened to 25,000 and got a call from the small blind. Alex Foxen three bet from the big blind for 131,000, and the button folded. The small blind reraised all in, and Foxen called.

Alex Foxen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Foxen had his opponent dominated preflop, with the small blind drawing thin to a king on a {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. The king didn't come, however, as the runout {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} sealed the deal.

Foxen, the No. 1 ranked player in the world on the Global Poker Index, is one of the first players to hit the 1-million mark and looks to be a lock to be one of the chip leaders going into Day 2.
