Alex Foxen had raised from under the gun and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel in the hijack. Alexander Uskov did the same from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Uskov checked, Foxen continued with a bet of 105,000. Thorel looked at the bet and snap-shoved. Uskov insta-folded and Foxen asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Thorel had 345,000 behind and Foxen quickly called.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Alex Foxen: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Thorel had flopped a pair of jacks while Foxen had an open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the {6-Spades} which didn't change the situation but the river came with the {9-Hearts} to give Foxen the straight. Thorel sat back down but then realized that Foxen had won and got back up from his chair. Thorel made his way to the payout desk to collect his cash for finishing in sixth place today.
