Foxen Doubles His Short Stack

Dan O'Hair

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jorryt van Hoof raised to 210,000 from early position and was called by Alex Foxen in the big blind.

The flop came K♠10♣2♦ and Foxen checked to Van Hoof, who bet enough to put Foxen all in for his remaining stack. Foxen quickly called and a showdown was held.

Alex Foxen: K♦Q♠J♣6♦ All in
Jorryt van Hoof: A♥Q♥10♦9♦

The 7♦4♦ runout improved both players to a flush, but Foxen's king-high flush was best to award him a much-needed double-up.

Alex Foxen raised to 210,000 in the cutoff and Dominykas Karmazinas three-bet the pot on the button. Foxen called off his stack of 670,000 and the cards were tabled.

Alex Foxen: K♣K♦6♦2♥ All in

The board ran out K♠4♣2♦8♣Q♦ and Foxen drilled a set of kings in the window to score a double up.

On the next hand, Thomas Taylor raised to 280,000 from under the gun and Foxen reraised to 960,000. Taylor called off his stack of around 700,000 and the hands were opened.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 3♦7♠7♦ and around 200,000 in the middle, Ben Lamb checked from the small blind and called an 80,000 bet from Sean Rafael in the big blind.

Both players checked the 5♣ turn leading to the A♥ river. Lamb bet 180,000 and Rafael snap-called.

Rafael quickly truned over J♣10♥3♣3♠ for a flopped full house. Lamb mucked his hand and Rafael took the pot.

In a three-way limped pot to the K♦Q♥6♠ flop, Quan Zhou checked from the small blind and Melad Marji in the big blinjd bet 60,000 at first. He then remembered that the blinds were gone up and made it 80,000 to go. Erik Nordstrand called on the button, as did Zhou.

They then checked the 6♥ on the turn before it checked to Nordstrand on the A♠ river. With a pot-sized bet of 560,000, Nordstrand shut down his two opponents.

Javier Francort raised to 200,000 from early position and action folded to Dominykas Karmazinas, who shoved for 365,000 total in the big blind. Francort stuck in a chip to signal a call and hands were revealed.

Dominykas Karmazinas: A♠K♠7♥4♦ All in
Javier Francort: K♣Q♦J♣3♦

The 5♠7♦K♥6♠A♥ runout left Karmazinas best with top two pair and he was awarded the double up.

Javier Francort raised to 200,000 from early position and it was folded to Dominykas Karmazinas, who raised pot from the big blind. Francort quickly four-bet to put Karmazinas all-in and Karmazinas called for his remaining stack.

Dominykas Karmazinas: K♥K♠J♥8♥ All in
Javier Francort: A♦Q♦Q♥5♦

Karmazinas held the lead with kings and maintained it on the 7♦J♦2♠ flop, but the A♥ turn paired Francort's ace to leave Karmazinas drawing slim.

The 3♥ river changed nothing and Karmazinas was eliminated in 18th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stefan Lehner raised to 280,000 from under the gun and was called only by David Paredes in the big blind. On the 6♣6♦4♦ flop, Paredes checked and then folded when Lehner reluctantly pushed in his last 210,000.

"No showdown double is always nice," Ben Lamb stated.

Paredes then limped the small blind and Lehner checked to the A♣K♣Q♣ flop. Paredes' bet of 80,000 was called and they checked the 4♣ turn. On the K♠ river, Paredes checked and Lehner's bet of 400,000 forced a fold to claim the second pot in a row.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Paredes	1,450,000 500,000	500,000
Stefan Lehner	1,050,000 150,000	150,000
