Foxen Sees the Door
Level 7
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 45,000 in the hijack with 5♠5♦ and Daniel Negreanu defended in the big blind with Q♦10♥.
The flop came Q♣7♣6♠ and Negreanu check-called a bet of 40,000 from Foxen, bringing the 9♥ turn.
Negreanu checked again and Foxen fired out a bet of 160,000. Negreanu called and the river fell the 8♦ giving both players a straight.
Negreanu checked with the ten-high straight and Foxen bet 460,000 with the nine-high straight, leaving himself with just 5,000 back. Negreanu raised to put Foxen all in, who called off the rest of his stack only to see the bad news.
