Foxen Forces Jetten to Fold the River
Alex Foxen opened to 1,600,000 and after Peter Jetten called on the button, Ben Heath did the same in the big blind.
Heath checked the [Ah6d2c] flop and Foxen continued for 1,100,000.
Jetten and Heath both called – before the latter checked the [Qd] on the turn.
Foxen bet 4,300,000 and Jetten called before Heath passed to send two to the river.
The [Jd] completed the board and Foxen quickly bet 14,000,000.
Jetten had just around 11,500,000 behind and after he used two extensions he elected to fold.
“Nice hand.” Jetten said, before Philipp Gruissem said, “How does it feel? To be number one, a superstar.”
The two then briefly talked about Foxen’s GPI Player of the Year prospects for 2019 – but Gruissem could have also been referencing Foxen’s stack that is currently contending for the chip lead.
