The flop was showing 
and the pot had around 85,000 in the middle. Alex Foxen put out a bet and Ben Yu moved all in for around 300,000.
Foxen thought for a bit, ultimately he called and the two turned over their hands. Yu tabled for top pair and Foxen showed for an over pair of aces.
The dealer burned and turned the 
and Yu would need to catch to stay alive. A fortuitous card fell on the river for Yu, as the dealer flipped over the 
, giving Yu a rivered straight and the pot.
