Foxen Takes the Lead Without Showdown
Shaun Deeb raised to 300,000 and was called by Aaron Katz in the cutoff, Alex Foxen on the button and Maxi Lehmanski in the big blind. The 5♥4♣2♠ flop was checked to Foxen and he bet 355,000. Lehmanski folded and Deeb called, which forced out Katz.
After the 3♠ turn, Deeb checked again and Foxen claimed the pot with a bet of 840,000.
Katz sighed and Deeb asked him if he had six-seven, to which Katz nodded. "I call if you don't call," Katz added and Deeb replied "I had a good hand, but that was the worst turn card."
Busy stacking the chips, Foxen replied "I had a good hand too" but didn't disclose what it was.
Katz then raised to 350,000 and Foxen called in the hijack. Both checked the 10♠9♥7♠ flop and the 9♦ turn was checked by Katz, who then folded to a bet of 550,000 by Foxen.
