Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Lou Garza kissed his chips for good luck before he put in his last 90,000 from the button. Bryce Yockey called the big blind amount out of the small blind before Alex Foxen opted to raise from the big blind. Before Foxen could get out his chips, Yockey folded and sent Garza and Foxen to a showdown.
Lou Garza: A♣K♦5♣5♦
Alex Foxen: K♣K♠9♦6♥
