Foxen Scores Knockout with Trips
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Giyeon Han opened 5,500 in early position and Alex Foxen three-bet to 16,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Han and he made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♠8♥6♦, and Han check-called a continuation bet of 13,000 from Foxen.
The 4♥ turn was checked through to see the 8♠ river. Han led out for 35,000 before Foxen announced all-in.
Han went into the blender, taking about three minutes before asking how much Foxen had. Foxen counted it for him and let him know he had 329,500, which covered Han's 165,000. Han tanked another 30 seconds before dropping a stack of chips across the line to make the call. Foxen rolled over 9♣8♣ for trip eights, and Han showed A♣Q♦ as he exited the tournament.
