Alex Foxen min-raises under the gun to 10,000, Brandon Wilson calls UTG+1, and Steven Veneziano reraises from the hijack. Foxen four-bets all in, and Wilson quickly folds.

Veneziano quickly calls all in for 60,500 with AsAh, and Foxen turns over 9d9c. Veneziano needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Jd10d8c2h3d, and Foxen flopped an open-ended straight draw, but improved no further. Veneziano won the pot with his pocket aces to double up in chips.

Steven Veneziano  –  138,500  (28 bb)
Alex Foxen  –  50,000  (10 bb)
