Fox Falls to Foxen Before Final Table
The opening event of the British Poker Open is down to the final table, after Elio Fox busted to Alex Foxen in 10th place.
The battle of late entrants ended with Foxen calling Fox’s 53,000 chip shove, after the reigning GPI Player of the Year opened to 12,000 from middle position. Fox was ahead, but flipping with [5s5d] against Foxen’s [7c6c].
The flip went Foxen’s way on the flop and held through the [Ad8d6s2hQh] runout. Fox joins Jake Schindler and Manig Loeser on the rail, while the nine remaining players are redrawing for their seats at the Event #1 final table.
