Foxen Has the Better Eight
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened the cutoff to 22,000 and Pavel Plesuv defended his big blind.
The 9♠9♣8♦ flop checked through to the 3♣ turn which saw Plesuv check again before Foxen announced a bet of 24,000. Plesuv then check-raised to 85,000, and Foxen put in the call before the Q♥ river checked through.
Pavel Plesuv: 10♣8♠
Alex Foxen: K♣8♥
Both players had paired their eight but Foxen's kicker played as a modest pot was pushed in his direction.
