Smith Catches Gin For a Massive Double Off Foxen
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 24,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Dan Smith three-bet to 140,000 on the button. Foxen then four-bet to 350,000 and Smith called.
Foxen stood pat and Smith took one. Foxen then moved all in. "Mind if I squeeze?" Smith asked as he slowly peeled his last card. "All in," he instantly said as he put in his last 765,000.
Foxen showed 8x7x6x5x2x, but Smith had caught 7x6x5x3x2x to win the pot and double up, leaving the former chip leader as a short stack.
"How did that get all in?" Daniel Negreanu asked from another table.
"I three-bet, he four-bet. I called, then I caught it," Smith replied.
"So you hit gin," Negreanu added.
