A dramatic hand on Day 2 of the $100,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl XI at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas proved costly for the Foxen family. Alex Foxen ran pocket tens into Nick Petrangelo’s four-bet shove with pocket sixes on the stone money bubble, holding a commanding advantage with six players left and only five spots paid.
With a six already folded preflop, Petrangelo had just one card in the deck to survive. The board ran out A♠9♠9♦6♦7♠, delivering sixes full and busting a player from money-bubble contention in brutal fashion.
While Alex Foxen shrugged off the loss and still bagged the Day 2 chip lead, the real consequence fell on his wife, Kristen Foxen. As the short stack, she had been in strong position to squeak into the money before the hand played out, but was eliminated shortly afterward, missing a $215,000 payout and a shot at the $1,125,000 top prize.
Commentator Ali Nejad called it a painful outcome for both Foxens, noting Kristen appeared on track to cash before the swing. She was eliminated a few hands later by Brandon Wilson, her ace-eight failing to catch up to his pocket nines.
Despite the setback, Day 2 included bright spots for the couple. Kristen doubled through Joao Simao earlier in the tournament with ace-king against queens, and Alex eliminated Poker Hall of Fame inductee Jason Koon by flopping a set of queens against his aces.
The tournament drew 28 entries for a $2,800,000 prize pool. The remaining five players — Alex Foxen, Petrangelo, Wilson, Jeremy Ausmus, and Adrian Mateos — return for Day 3, streaming live on PokerGO.
