Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was three-way on a flop of 4♦A♥5♦. From the button, Petar Kalev bet 1,200, the big blind folded and Alex Foxen raised it up to 5,600 from the cutoff which Kalev called.

The turn was a third diamond with the 10♦ coming off. Kalev took quite a while to decide on his action, which he eventually decided to bet 4,000. Foxen jammed all in and Kalev snap-called.

Alex Foxen: A♠K♣
Petar Kalev: J♦8♦

Foxen was drawing dead as the river came on the 4♣. He packed up his things and left as his stay in this event turned out to be a very short one.
