Final Table Results
Final Day Recap
Alex Foxen entered the final day as the chip leader, having already made a statement at the end of Day 1 by eliminating both Joe Serock and Christopher Hannel in a single hand with a king-high flush. Only four players returned for Day 2, and Foxen wasted no time applying pressure.
On the very first hand, Foxen put Kamel Mokhammad all in, but Mokhammad doubled up. However, Mokhammad’s run was short-lived as he was eliminated by Michael Wang a few hands later, finishing fourth for $32,000.
Three-handed play between Foxen, Wang, and LaDarren Banks lasted nearly an hour. Banks got his chips in ahead of Foxen’s, but the board ran out, giving Foxen two pair and sending Banks out in third place for $44,000.
Heads-up play saw Wang briefly take the lead after making a superior flush, but Foxen quickly regained control. The tournament ended in dramatic fashion:
Final Hand
Foxen raised 300,000 from the button, and Wang three-bet to 900,000. Foxen called, and they saw the J♠️9♠️2♥️. Wang made a 1,900,000 cbet. Foxen called.
Turn: 4♦️. Wang moved all in for his last 2,575,000 chips. Foxen went deep into the tank and burned through his time extension chips before making the call.
Alex Foxen showed: T♦️T♥️9♣️8♥️
Michael Wang showed: K♠️K♥️Q♦️5♥️
Wang was a 70% favourite, but the Q♠️ river improved Foxen’s hand to a straight.
