Arends Rivers the Nuts to Double Through Foxen
Level 19
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jans Arends raised to 400,000 in the cutoff and Alex Foxen defended from the big blind. The flop came A♦10♥7♣ and Foxen checked to Arends who bet 350,000. Foxen check-raised to 1,150,000 and Arends just called.
The turn brought the 9♥ and Foxen slid out a bet of 1,400,000. Arends still called and the K♦ peeled off on the river. Foxen went into the tank for over a minute before shoving all in. Arends looked back at his cards before calling off his last 5,470,000 chips.
Foxen turned over 8♥6♣ for a straight but Arends rivered the best straight with Q♣J♦. Foxen was forced to send over a double-up and Arends took over the chip lead.
