Tim Baker

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a board of 9♥J♦9♣ Alex Foxen had check-raised to 4,800 out of the big blind over a bet of 1,200 from an early position player. Foxen's opponent called and they headed to the turn.

Foxen bet 12,500 on the 2♦ turn and his opponent slid in the call.

The 8♦ on the river saw Foxen fire 31,500. His opponent thought for a few minutes before announcing all in for Foxen's remaining 48,000. Foxen rechecked his cards before quickly making the fold.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After the action folded to Sergio Aido in late position, he raised to 2,500 and only the player in the big blind made the call.

The big blind chose to check the K♠6♦Q♣ flop and Aido put out a continuation bet of 2,000. This prompted a swift fold from his opponent and Aido pulled in the pot

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Oleg Vasylchenko, in middle position and Alex Foxen, in the cutoff.

With about 15,000 in the pot and the board reading J♠4♠10♦A♥, Vasylchenko check-called a bet of 8,400 from Foxen.

On the 5♥ river, Vasylchenko checked again and Foxen bet enough to put Vasylchenko all in, who had 24,800 behind.

Vasylchenko quickly called and tabled K♥Q♠ for the nut straight. Foxen flashed Ax10x for two pair, aces and tens.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a board of 3♣5♥7♠Q♥ Santhosh Suvarna bet 3,000, and his opponent seated on the button made the call.

The river came the A♥. Suvarna fired out a bet of 11,500, leaving roughly 15,000 behind. His opponent quickly slid out a stack of T-5,000 chips which was enough to put Suvarna all in. Suvarna thought about the decision for quite some time before he opted to fold.
