Fox's River Shove Forces Philachack Off a Set
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
Michael Holtz called PokerNews over to a table as a huge pot was brewing between Elio Fox and Andy Philachack. The board read and Fox had shoved for his last 109,000.
Philachack went into the tank for several minutes. "Sick turn. Sick river," Philachack said as he pondered the decision. Philachack eventually flashed two queens for a flopped set as he mucked.
According to Holtz, Philachack had raised pre-flop to 1,300 and called when Fox three-bet. On the flop, Fox continued for 4,000, Philachack raised to 8,000, and Fox called.
Philachack bet 10,000 on the turn before Fox raised to 25,000. Philachack called, then checked on the river before Fox jammed.
