Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Seeing a raise to 2,000 and one call ahead of him, Alex Foxen called on the button. JC Tran then three-bet to 10,000 from the big blind, which only Foxen called.

Tran continued with another 7,000 on the 38J flop, and Foxen called again. The 10 turn didn't slow the action, as Tran barreled with a 15,300 bet. Undeterred, Foxen stuck around.

Tran waved the white flag on the 2 river, and Foxen checked back. After Tran tabled AQ, Foxen tabled the winning hand with his 98.

Kauch Gets River Value

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was about 15,000 in the middle on a board that read KQ9 when this hand was picked up.

Both players checked the flop to bring the J turn. Adam Goldstein checked again from the small blind before Jameson Kauch bet 4,800 on the button.

Goldstein called to bring the 10 river as a straight was on board. Goldstein checked it over to Kauch, who bet 40,000 in response. Goldstein shrugged and put out a chip for a call.

Kauch showed A3 for an ace high straight.

"Nice hand," said Goldstein before mucking his hand with a friendly chuckle.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Watson raised to 1,400 on the button. Brent Roberts three-bet to 6,600 in the big blind, which Watson four-bet to 16,200. Roberts swiftly moved all in for 32,000, and Roberts snapped him off.

Brent Roberts: QQ All in
Andrew Watson: KK

Roberts could not find a queen on the 410A88 runout, eliminating him from the Main Event.

"I've been here since May 22nd and that is the second all-in I've won," Watson stated after Roberts had departed the table. "I was kind of expecting to lose."

Fair Takes Out Shinoda

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 12,500 in the pot on the AQJ flop, Ryan Fair checked from early position, and Takuya Shinoda bet from middle position. Fair check-raised to 16,500, which Shinoda called.

The 9 joined the turn, and Fair led out for 22,500. After taking inventory of his stack, which totaled around 60,000, Shinoda jammed and was snapped off by Fair.

Takuya Shinoda: QJ All in
Ryan Fair: AQ

Both players had flopped two pair, although it was Fair's top two that left Shinoda needing one of the two remaining jacks in the deck to survive.

The 5 wasn't one of them, completing the board and bringing Shinoda's Main Event run to an end. He wished the table good luck before his chips were pushed across to Fair.
