Foxen Turns a Better Two Pair to Double
Level 18
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Lautaro Guerra made it 360,000 to go from under the gun with Alex Foxen calling from the cutoff, and Tomas Ribeiro defending out of the big blind.
After Ribeiro checked the 6♥2♠A♥ flop, Guerra bet 550,000. Foxen potted it to around 2,910,000, which got Ribeiro to fold. Guerra raised to put Foxen all in for his 3,400,000 total, and Foxen called.
Alex Foxen: A♠7♠6♣5♣ 
Lautaro Guerra: A♣K♥K♦6♦
Both players had flopped top two pair, but Foxen moved into the lead on the 7♥ turn, improving to a better two pair. The 10♠ came on the river, and Foxen earned the massive double-up at the expense of Guerra.
