Rare Sighting of Nocturnal Fox

[user46298]
[user46298]
UK player Stuart Fox has been a bit of a rarity on the circuit both nationally and internationally for a while, but that might work in his favour as the soft-spoken young player could easily be overlooked by his tablemates - at their cost. His finishes include a lot of US things like WSOP events and WPTs - top of which is probably his half a mil runner up finish in the 2007 WSOP $5k NLHE bracelet event.

Sitting calmly, with only half a face visible under his hat which I recognise from 2007, he took the loss of over 10k a little earlier fairly stoically. He'd seen a heads up flop of {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} which was checked to him, and he checked behind.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and his opponent bet out 3,400. Slowly he reached a bit deeper, and threw out 9,000. Over to Player Two, who thought even longer, but threw in three yellow 5k chips on top! This was not the plan, evidently, for Fox gave up on the hand after a short consideration period.
