Fox Trapped

Last year's runner-up and hometown hero Dustin Fox is back again, looking to best last year's strong result.

He's got plenty of chips, but just forfeited a recent pot to an opponent seated across the table from him in the two-seat.

Fox limped into the pot from under the gun and, when the action had folded around the table, his opponent kicked it up to 775. Fox made the call and the two saw a flop of {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs}.

Both players checked the flop, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the {6-Diamonds}. Fox then led out with a 1,300 bet, which his opponent kicked up to 4,300. After a short dwell in the tank, Fox threw his hand away saying, "Nice bluff."

"Do you want a reaction from that?" his opponent asked.

"I didn't ask for one," Fox said with a smile. The hand left Fox with a healthy 31,500 in chips.
