Foxen's Stack Keeps Growing

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kristen Foxen in early position raised to 240,000 with A♣K♠, and she was called by Charles Alex-Barton who defended from the big blind with K♦Q♠.

She continued with a bet of 330,000 on the 10♣K♣4♦ flop, but Alex-Barton didn't back down and check-called.

The A♠ turn came, and Foxen fired a second barrel of 700,000. Alex-Barton check-called once again.

On the Q♥ river, both players checked and Foxen scooped the pot with a better two pair.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Kristen Foxen	10,975,000 1,510,000	1,510,000

Charles Alex-Barton	6,825,000 -1,450,000	-1,450,000

Another Small Double for Marshall

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Sean Marshall open-jammed a stack of just 200,000 as the first player to act and Robert Geith called in the small blind.

Sean Marshall: A♦6♦ All in
Robert Geith: A♣Q♥

Marshall was calling for a six and diamonds and got his latter wish as the flop landed 2♦3♦10♣ to give him a flush draw. The 6♥ turn then improved him to a pair of sixes before the 2♣ bricked off on the river to earn him a small double before being forced to pay the big blind.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Robert Geith	7,000,000 1,400,000	1,400,000

Charles Russell raised from middle position to 240,000 and Brian Kim called from the cutoff. Guillermo Sanchez Otero also called from the big blind.

All three players checked to the river on the 7♦7♣2♠6♣Q♠ board where Russell bet 400,000. Kim made the call, and Otero folded.

Russell tabled Q♦J♠ for a rivered pair of queens, but Kim had A♦Q♥ for a pair of queens with an ace-kicker, which earned him the pot.

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of K♥8♦9♥10♣, Giovanni Zanette bet 750,000 from the hijack and Marc Wolpert came back with a raise to 2,000,000 in the big blind.

Zanette called to the 6♠ river, where Wolpert bet another 2,000,000. Zanette spent several minutes in the tank before he called.

Wolpert showed A♦10♦ for a pair of tens, but Zanette had A♠K♣ for kings to win the pot. "Nice hand, good call," Wolpert said as he handed over the big pot.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Giovanni Zanette	13,000,000 5,700,000	5,700,000

Foxen Bluffs Astedt and Montoya

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Niklas Astedt in middle position opened to 240,000 with A♣J♠. Kristen Foxen with K♥K♦ on the button just called, and so did Tyler Montoya in the big blind with A♠J♥.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥7♣6♥ and Astedt continued for 200,000. Foxen called, as well as Montoya to find the 5♥ turn.

All three players checked this card, but on the 6♦ river, after Montoya checked, Astedt bet 200,000.

Foxen raised to 1,300,000, so Montoya went deep into the tank. He eventually folded his two pair. Same problem for Astedt, who folded the best hand as well.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Kristen Foxen	9,465,000 1,380,000	1,380,000

Niklas Astedt	8,115,000 775,000	775,000

Tyler Montoya	1,515,000 -1,220,000	-1,220,000

Sean Marshall jammed his short stack and Robert Renaud got his last chips in from the big blind for near identical stack sizes.

Robert Renaud: 9♦9♥ All in
Sean Marshall: A♦7♦

The board ran out K♠Q♣8♦4♣2♦ and Renaud doubled for 1,170,000. Marshall had that covered by only 20,000 and was all-in the next hand. Yake Wu raised to 300,000 and forced out everyone else.

Sean Marshall: A♥K♦ All in
Yake Wu: A♠6♣

The board ran out K♥10♦7♦A♣K♣ and Marshall turned his four chips into many more.

Jivkov Doubles Through Dourado

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Aloisio Dourado opened to 250,000 from middle position and Nick Jivkov shoved for 1,665,000 total on the button. Action folded back around to Dourado, who tanked for some time before sticking in a single chip to indicate a call.

Nick Jivkov: 10♥10♣ All in
Aloisio Dourado: A♦10♦

The K♠Q♥2♠ flop gave Dourado additional outs to Broadway, but the K♥ turn and 4♠ river bricked out to award Jivkov the double up with his tens.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Aloisio Dourado	10,850,000 2,350,000	2,350,000

Nick Jivkov raised to 250,000 under the gun and Chi Jen Chen called in the big blind.

Jivkov continued for 150,000 on the 6♦9♣9♠ flop and Chen raised to 500,000. Jivkov called.

The turn was the Q♣ and Chen bet 625,000. Jivkov again called and the 10♠ fell on the river. Chen then bet 1,300,000.
