Foxen Hits a Boat to Bust Marsico
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dirk Gerritse limped under the gun before Alex Foxen raised to 9,000 from the cutoff. Dirk Gerritse called from the big blind, but Gerritse limp-raised to 37,000. Foxen and Marsico called.
The action checked to Foxen on the 9♥9♦5♠ flop, and he bet 30,000. Marsico jammed for around 100,000, forcing Gerritse to fold. Foxen called and the cards were turned over.
Philip Marsico: 8♥7♦6♦4♠ 
Alex Foxen: A♠K♣J♥9♣
Foxen had trips nines and needed to fade the river to bust Marsico and virtually double-up. The rest of the board ran out 10♣K♦, which gave Foxen the winner with a full house.
