What did Kristen Foxen just do????? For 20M pot fold top range to a fishes worse value jam???
That was snap fold if its not edited, or are these live stream clips edited already?
Oh god... That cant be a fold in theory. Yeah no women for final table.
And she just called AKo 20bb eff. pre WTF? Where is the powerjam? 20bb eff thats never a call in solver you could trap with AA. Thought she was a pro.
I guess that is the Isai Scheinberg, founder of Poker Stars, who is ITM in the $50K NLHE.

I mean she can have a bunch of flushes and flopped set.
But ok, let's go with 'top of range' LOL
lmao true he would've had 2 BB ish or just one after the SB if he folded his BB there. Plenty of hands to spin it up.
TBF at least he has a choice with the SB. He has a chance for some dead money with an early raise and BB likely folding, hence a triple up (actually 4x with BBA).
If not, then spin it up with chip+chair for the next 7 hands. I don't know if there are any pay jumps nearby but ignoring that after waiting so long is not very smart.
latinois definitely has moves, tens might well have just been I finally have a hand and I'm tired of this crap. been there
No one puts her on AK when she donk flats with 20bb AKo, why would she do that. Power jam is printing there and you lose money with the call. That was so bad that we dont need to see Foxen at the final anymore. We need high level play for the finals.

I agree, but in the context of the AI it works best against AKo, which indeed is what she had.
Maybe she was waiting for a squeeze with more action behind, and a big chance to get back in the event.
Should have said "most likely", not "likely".

can't wait for you to show us how it's done next year
pair of 2's might hero this, bet size is a bit odd for a BB defend runout on this board but he didn't
Foxen is a great player and far exceeds the "level" of play we typically see at the Main Event final table.
That hand, obviously, was a disaster. But those things happen in a long tournament (especially when you slow play AKo from early position).
Still hope for Xiao and Foxen. I remember watching the ESPN coverage and Qui Nguyen and Gordon Vayo were once 25th and 24th in chips with 25 left in the 2016 main event
Disaster is right. To me, it was played quite strangely by both sides.
I'm not sure to what extent Foxen is a "live reads" kind of player, but this might be another example of a player getting betrayed by them. Sagle played his AQ as if he was sure it was best – i.e. I don't think that C/R wasn't meant as a bluff. If Foxen reads him for genuine strength, she's ditching the AK.
I've said many times before, I think we've seen a few times where a person's demeanor was misread by a pro making a live read: Doyle read Jamie Gold for strength and folded a better flush on High Stakes Poker, Hellmuth read amateur qualifier Paul Featherstone for strength and folded QQ to AQ pre on Poker After Dark, and Chan read Moneymaker's discomfort and pushed with that king-high FD in the 2003 Main. Gold genuinely thought he had the best hand, Featherstone genuinely thought he had the best hand pre, and Moneymaker was genuinely worried due to his weak kicker.

Wasn't that the 3rd AKo she lost with in the last hour?
Going for the squeeze looks bad now but reasonable chance of a 3 bet there, with a fold after her subsequent AI.
nmind
cantu putting on a masterclass of not trying whatsoever to win this tournament but inexplicably laddering up
Wasn’t watching today but is there coverage of him folding stuff he clearly should have played? Yesterday he was card dead
The object of poker (for most) is to win the most money possible, not win the tournament. Everyone has their own utility function curves but an extra 150-200K is a lot for many. Some events don’t even pay that much for 1st
