Platt Fades Foxen's Flush

Jeff Platt opened to 3,000 under the gun and is called by the small blind, but then Alex Foxen in the big blind three-bet to 14,000.

"I'm going to go all in," Platt turned and said to PokerNews as he set his stack in the middle, which resulted in a quick fold from the small blind and a snap-call from Foxen to put him at risk.

Jeff Platt: A♦A♥ All in
Alex Foxen: Q♠Q♣

Platt was a big favorite to double, and although he improved to a set on the flop of A♣5♣J♣, he still had to fade Foxen's flush draw. Fortunately for him, the runout of 8♦2♦ was safe and he secured the pot for the double.

"Yeah, I put him on queens, that's why I shoved. I knew he was calling," Platt joked after the hand.

"Yeah, well, I put him on aces, but I knew the flop was going to make him sweat," Foxen replied with a smile, still comfortably sitting at 160,000.
