Sly Like a Fox
The 2011 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion Elio Fox just went boom in a big way. He propelled himself to a big double over 200,000 in chips after making a tough call on the river for his tournament life against Daniel Trotta Borges.
We picked up the action on the river with the board reading 
and approximately 48,000 chips in the middle. Borges bet 13,000 and Fox put in a raise to 38,000. Fox had 46,200 in chips behind and Borges took a minute to think. Then, he reraised all in for 91,600, having Fox just covered by 7,400 in chips. After a couple minutes in the tank, Fox leaned forward and announced a call.
Borges didn't turn his hand over right away. Neither did Fox, as he waited to see what Borges had. Borges tabled the 
for just jack high, bluffing on the river. Fox tabled the winner with the 
, rivering a set of queens.
The chips were counted down and Fox was awarded the double up, soaring his stack to about 217,000 in chips and into the top three on the leader board. Borges was eliminated shortly thereafter.
