Foxen Pats an Eight to Knock Out Two

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 1,200 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

Chino Rheem raised to 2,100 under the gun and Alex Foxen three-bet to 8,000 on the button. Blaz Zerjav then moved all in for 50,000 in the small blind, and Rheem called for 35,000. Foxen also called to put both opponents at risk.

Zerjav drew one, while Rheem and Foxen stood pat. "Nine-eight," Rheem announced, but Foxen showed 8x7x6x3x2x to leave Rheem already drawing dead as he tossed his cards into the muck. Zerjav was drawing with 8x6x4x3x, but he drew a 9x and Foxen earned the double knockout.

Jason Papastavrou

Dario Sammartino made it 2,500 to go in the cutoff. Big blind Jason Papastavrou then three-bet to 10,000, to which Sammartino responded with a four-bet shove worth 51,400.

Papastavrou played a little less than that and called off his chips to put himself all in. He then remained pat, forcing Sammartino to take one card in the draw.

Papastavrou tabled 10x6x4x3x2x, but Sammartino made 9x8x6x3x2x to best his opponent and send him to the rail.

James Tilton had made it 1,800 to go in the hijack, and Oscar Johansson had tossed in a T-5,000 chip from the cutoff when the action was caught.

Aaron Kupin: 7x5x4x2x All in
Oscar Johansson: Jx9x8x6x5x

Kupin paired up, catching another 5x to see his first bullet turn to dust.
