Youness Barakat opened to 8,000 from middle position and Jason Koon three-bet to 15,000 from late position. Alex Foxen defended his big blind and Barakat called to take the players three-ways to the flop.

The dealer fanned the 6♠7♠J♠ and action checked to Koon who bet 15,000. Foxen called and Barakat raised to 60,000. Koon folded, Foxen called and the pair continued heads up to the 6♥ turn.

Foxen made a quick check, Barakat took a little longer but also checked behind. The 7♥ river completed the board and Foxen pushed in a time card before opting to bet 51,000. Barakat mucked his hand and Foxen saw a good chip up.
