Foxen Continues to Widen the Gap
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alessandro Pichierri J?10? opened to 200,000 first to act and was called by Alex Foxen K?J? from the cutoff. Leon Tsoukernik 10?9? defended his big blind.
Pichierri continued for 280,000 on the 5?2?2? flop, and Foxen called with his flush draw ahead of Tsoukernik folding. The J? turn connected with both remaining players, and action checked through to the K? river, which gave Foxen kings and jacks.
Pichierri bet 450,000 with the second-best hand. Foxen used a time bank while he weighed up his options. The American bumped it up to 2,220,000, and Pichierri opted to preserve the 1,800,000 he had behind and folded.
