Greenwood Fades the World
Level 18
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened the action with a raise to 120,000 in the cutoff before Sam Greenwood, on the button, three-bet all in for his stack of 950,000. It folded back to Foxen, who confirmed the count and made the call to put Greenwood at risk.
Sam Greenwood: 8♥8♣ 
Alex Foxen: K♦Q♣
It was a flip with Greenwood ahead with his pocket eights, and he was still ahead after the 3♣10♣A♣ flop, but Foxen picked up extra outs with a gutshot straight draw and flush draw. The A♠ on the turn gave Foxen a few more outs, as a ten would counterfeit Greenwood's pocket pair. However, the 8♠ on the river gave Greenwood a full house, eights full of aces, to secure the double up.
