Foxen Loses the Minimum in a Massive Cooler Against Coelho

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Short stack Diogo Coelho raised to 2,400,000 in the cutoff with A♦A♣ and Kristen Foxen defended her big blind after picking up K♦K♣. The 10♥A♠5♠ flop was checked by Foxen, after which Coelho bet 1,200,000 with top set.

Foxen called for the 8♥ to appear on the turn. Foxen checked, and Coelho bet 3,000,000 after some time in the tank. Foxen called to the 3♣ river, which she checked again.

After some more thinking time, Coelho pushed all in for his remaining 6,700,000 chips. Foxen folded fairly quickly, increasing Coelho's stack significantly.

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Malcolm Franchi raised to 2,400,000 on the button and fellow countryman Malo Latinois three-bet to 9,000,000 in the small blind. It folded back to Franchi, who went deep into the tank. He eventually jammed for 15,100,000 and Latinois called.

Malcolm Franchi: 10♥10♦ All in
Malo Latinois: 5♦5♥

The dominating pair remained ahead on the A♣6♥2♥ but had to endure a sweat on the 4♦ turn, as Latinois now picked up a gutshot as well. However, the J♣ river was a blank and Franchi doubled to swap positions with Latinois.

Jonathan Tamayo raised to 2,000,000 and Boris Angelov called in the big blind, then led the 7♠5♦3♣ flop for 1,500,000. Tamayo called and Angelov bet again the 8♠ turn for 2,800,000 to pick up another call from Tamayo.

That led them to the 3♦ on the river on which Angelov made it 3,500,000 to go. Tamayo called and won the pot with the 9♠9♦, as Angelov had bluffed with Q♣6♣ for a missed straight draw.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Yegor Moroz limped in from the small blind and called when Brian Kim made it 3,500,000 from the big blind. The action was checked to the river for the final board to show A♣K♠8♠Q♣5♦. Moroz led out for 2,200,000, and Kim made it 8,500,000.

Moroz tanked for several minutes before calling with A♠9♣ for top pair. Kim tabled K♦5♣ for a rivered two pair as he took down the big pot.

On the next deal, Joe Serock opened to 2,000,000 from early position and forced out the remaining players.

The following hand, Serock made it 2,000,000 first to act and was called by Brian Kim from the button. Kristen Foxen also defended her big blind and they went three-handed to the J♦9♥4♠ flop. Serock continued for 1,900,000 and both opponents folded as Serock took the pot with Q♠Q♦.

Kim then kicked off the action with a raise to 2,1000,000 from the cutoff and Serock called from the big blind. Serock check-called for 1,800,000 on the 9♦6♠3♦ flop. The J♠ turn went check-check for the 10♠ to complete the board. Serock checked for a third time and Kim checked his XxXx to claim the pot.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Kristen Foxen opened to 2,000,000 from the hijack and action folded to Diogo Coelho in the big blind. He took his time before three-betting to 7,500,000. Foxen called to set up the 16,500,000 pot.

Coelho continued for 4,100,000 on the Q♦9♣4♦ flop and was called. The turn brought in the 8♥ turn and Coelho sized up to 7,500,000 and again Foxen called.

With nearly 40,000,000 in the middle heading to the 7♠ river, Coelho slowed down and checked. Foxen quickly checked behind.

Coelho's A♦K♦ was no good as Foxen found her three-outer and took in the pot with A♠Q♠.
