Serock Puts Foxen on the Spot

Frank Visser

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kristen Foxen limped in from the small blind and Joe Serock checked his option in the big blind. Foxen then placed the minimum bet of 800,000 on the 6♥6♣Q♥ flop and was called by Serock.

The 10♦ appeared on the turn and slowed down Foxen as she opted to check. Serock bet 2,000,000 and Foxen called for the 8♣ river to complete the board.

Foxen checked once more, after which Serock put in a pot-sized bet of 8,000,000 chips. Foxen went into the tank for several minutes until she found a fold and conceded to pot to Serock.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Niklas Astedt opened to 1,600,000 from under the gun and dragged in the pot after nobody wanted to tangle with him.

On the next deal, it was Joe Serock's turn for a raise and take after his open to 1,600,000 went unanswered. He showed K♣Q♣.

Andres Gonzalez made it 1,600,000 from middle position, and he took down the pot uncontested.

Brian Kim raised to 1,700,000 from under the gun and Kristen Foxen called from two seats over with K♣10♣. Diogo Coelho three-bet to 7,200,000 from the small blind with A♦Q♥ and folded out Kim and Foxen.

Joe Serock opened to 1,600,000 with A♠10♠ from middle position before Niklas Astedt reraised to 5,000,000 from the cutoff with A♦9♣. Serock called. With 12,000,000 in the pot on the A♥Q♦10♥ flop, Serock check-called for 3,500,000. The 2♦ turn checked through to the 5♠ river. Serock led into the three-bettor, sizing to 13,000,000.

Astedt went deep into the tank, and settled on a fold, shipping the fold to Serock, who became the tournament chipleader as a result.

Malcolm Franchi opened to 1,600,000 and Jason Sagle called from two seats over. Gabriel Moura then three-bet to 10,000,000 for nearly half his stack on the button to force two folds.

Guillermo Sanchez Otero then raised to 1,600,000 and Jonathan Tamayo three-bet to 4,500,000 on the button. Both blinds folded and Sanchez Otero pushed all in. Tamayo instantly called all in for 21,600,000.

Jonathan Tamayo: A♦A♣ All in
Guillermo Sanchez Otero. A♥K♠

There was some sweat for the aces on the J♠10♦6♦ flop but the 5♣ turn and A♠ river were no threat for Tamayo, as he doubled with a set of aces.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kristen Foxen raised to 1,600,000 as first to act and was called by Joe Serock in the seat next to her. Andres Gonzalez also came along in the big blind before the dealer spread a flop of Q♣9♣A♠.

The action was checked to Serock, who bet 1,500,000. Gonzalez called while Foxen got out of the way. The 4♦ came on the turn and Serock bet 6,400,000 after another check from Gonzalez.

Gonzalez instantly folded 10♣6♣ as Serock won the pot holding A♥K♠ to extend his chip lead.

Boris Angelov opened to 1,900,000 on the button and Malo Latinois three-bet to 4,400,000 in the big blind. Angelov four-bet jammed and Latinois called.

Boris Angelov: 6♥6♦ All in
Malo Latinois: A♠K♠

Angelov didn't have to sweat the flip for long as the flop landed 6♣8♣4♣ to give him a set. The 5♣ turn created chop possibilities, but instead the 6♠ river landed to give Angelov quads for an emphatic double.

Andres Gonzalez limped in from the small blind and Kristen Foxen checked her option in the big blind. Gonzalez bet 800,000 on the K♣K♦6♦ flop and Foxen called. On the 8♥ turn, Gonzalez check folded when Foxen fired out 1,400,000.

Diogo Coelho raised to 1,600,000 from early position. Gonzalez three-bet to 4,400,000 from the cutoff, which like the hand before, was what was needed to take in the pot.

Yegor Moroz made it 1,600,000 from under the gun ahead of Brian Kim three-betting to 4,300,000 with K♦J♦ on Moroz's direct left. Action folded back to Moroz who tanked for a few minutes before folding A♦Q♥.
