Event 19: Corey Dodd Eliminated; Alex Foxen Advances

$1,650 Heads-Up No Limit Hold’em
Players Remaining: 6
Level 5: 200/400

Corey Dodd limped in from the button, and Alex Foxen checked his option in the big blind.

The flop was Qh9h8s, and both players checked. The turn was the 5h. Foxen bet 500, Dodd raised to 1,500, and Foxen called. The river was the 6d. Foxen checked, and Dodd moved all in for 4,200. Foxen deliberated for maybe 30 seconds, then called to put Dodd at risk.

“You got it,” Dodd said, reluctant to show his cards. Foxen took his cue to table QdJs, winning the pot, the game, and the match with a pair of queens. He advances to the semifinals, where he’ll face either Aaron Mermelstein or George Lusby.

Dodd was eliminated by a score of two games to zero.

Alex Foxen – Advances to Semifinals
