Foxen Gets There to Leave Riess Short

Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised to 85,000 holding the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on the button and 2013 WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess defended his big blind with the {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Riess took the lead on the {3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop and check-called a bet of 50,000. He then check-called one of 100,000 on the {7-Diamonds} turn before the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give Foxen a bigger pair.

Both players checked and Foxen said, "Got there."

Indeed he did as Riess mucked after Foxen tabled his hand.
