Brett Slezak

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Seth Davies from the hijack and Alex Foxen from the big blind were tangled in a pot.

With the board reading 10♥8♠8♥4♦ on the turn with a little under 400,000 in the middle, the action checked through.

The two went heads-up to the Q♥ river which saw Foxen lead for 360,000. Davies would then put a stack of blue T-100,000 chips forward for a raise to 1,900,000. Foxen was immediately displeased with the spot but felt his hand was too strong as he quickly put in the call. Davies tabled 8♦8♣ for flopped quads as he scooped a big one off Foxen.
