Foxen Makes Huge Hero Call for Tournament Life

Ryan Lashmar

Level 4 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 9?8?6? and about 150,000 already in the pot. Kristen Foxen bet 45,000 and called when Yang Wang raised to 90,000.

Both players checked the 4? turn. On the Q? river Foxen checked again and Wang moved all in with a covering stack.

Foxen thought about her decision for about 30 seconds before making the call.

Wang showed A?7? for a missed straight draw turned river bluff while Foxen showed K?9? for just second pair which was enough to take down a huge pot and secure a full double up.

"Better than watching on tv," Sam Snead, who was also at the table said. "That was amazing."
