Boivin Rivers a Straight Against Foxen
Level 22
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Thomas Boivin won a few small pots to preserve his small stack while barely any of the recent hands even went to a flop. The Belgian then raised to 1,650,000 with the J♦7♠ in the small blind and Alex Foxen defended his A♦8♦ in the big blind.
Both players missed the Q♦9♠6♣ flop and Boivin checked, Foxen's staring contest ended in a check back. The 10♦ turn made things more spicy when straight and flush draws now opening up.
Boivin bet 2,300,000 and Foxen double-checked his cards before coming along to the K♥ on the river, which completed the straight for Boivin. The Belgian carefully took his time to come up with the perfect sizing and then bet 8,000,000, Foxen folded.
