Nazar Buhaiov Eliminated in 5th Place ($136,737)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 800,000 on the button. Foxen called and the pair went to the 9♣10♠8♦ flop.
Foxen checked, Buhaiov bet 300,000 and Foxen jammed, covering Buhaiov's remaining 1,100,000. Buhaiov snap called.
Nazar Buhaiov: A♠A♥
Alex Foxen: 8♣7♣
Foxen had flopped an open-ended straight draw, bottom pair, and a backdoor flush draw, which gave him plenty to work with against Buhaiov's pocket aces.
The 9♥ turn gave both two pair but the 8♥ river saw Foxen end with a boat, sinking Buhaiov on the river. Foxen claimed another bounty to add to his growing stack of chips.
