Heath Folds to Foxen's Shove

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The completed board was down {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and the pot was around 45,000. Alex Foxen had moved all in for 90,000 from the cutoff after Ben Heath has checked from the big blind.

Heath went into the tank and would have to put all his 53,000 chip stack at risk to make the call. After a minute's thought, he opted to fold, and Foxen drew in the pot.

Badziakouski Calls Correctly Against Pollak

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The board was down {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, and Mikita Badziakouski was playing from the small blind and called a bet from Benjamin Pollak on the button. The river was revealed to be the {6-Clubs}, and Badziakouski checked which allowed Pollak to bet 12,000.

With four clubs on the board, Badziakouski sighed and took off his sunglass to think over his decision. With the shot-clock in play, he used 25 seconds before he flicked in a chip to call.

Pollak tabled {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair, and Badziakouski won the pot after he showed {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for trips.
