Foxen Puts Duek to the Test

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

No-Limit Hold'em

Alex Foxen opened from middle position, Michael Duek three-bet from the cutoff, Foxen put in a four-bet, and Duek called as around 60,000 found its way into the middle preflop.

On the Q83 flop, Foxen led for 15,000 and Duek called.

Foxen led again on the 4 turn for 37,000, and Duek stuck around.

The K peeled off on the river as Foxen burned through two time extensions before betting 114,800, leaving a single T-100 chip behind. Duek went deep into the tank, using a few extensions of his own, before ultimately deciding to fold.

Tablemate Chino Rheem implored Foxen to show a bluff, and he partially obliged, turning over the A.
