Foxen Takes Out Monroig
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kristen Foxen raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, and Michael Monroig called in the small blind. Gruffudd Pugh-Jones then three-bet to 160,000 in the big blind, which Foxen and Monroig both called.
As soon as the 6♣8♠2♠ flop hit the felt, Monroig moved all in for 145,000. Pugh-Jones folded, but Foxen called.
Michael Monroig: K♠9♠8♦7♦
Kristen Foxen: 10♠8♣7♥6♥
Monroig had a world of outs to take the lead, but those outs were cut dramatically on the 8♥ turn as Foxen improved to a full house.
The 4♣ completed the board, sealing Monroig's fate and sending him to the payout desk.
