Nines Full for Foxen

Livello 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of 9♥9♣J♥, a player bet 6,000 and Matthew Fields called before Kristen Foxen raised to 18,000. The initial bettor folded and Fields raised all in for around 40,000 to bring a quick call from Foxen.

Matthew Fields: K♦10♦ All in
Kristen Foxen: A♥9♠

Foxen had trips to be in front of Fields' gutshot, and the A♦ turn gave her a full house to have her opponent drawing dead headed to the 10♠ river.

The $25K Fantasy league is off to a hot start with seven of the 19 teams over 100 points as of June 4. Most of those were thanks to a handful of draftees hitting field bonuses in Event #5: $1,000 Mystery Millions, which attracted 18,409 entrants and became the sixth-largest poker tournament of all time.

PokerNews has been tracking $25K Fantasy players in our live updates, and has even made it simple to follow the action by tagging all players with a $25K Fantasy badge. That allows you to utilize our chip count filter option to follow only those players (just tick the $25K Fantasy badge); what’s more, each blog will have a “$25K Fantasy” tab that if you click all you will see are hands played by $25K Fantasy players.

As a result, we can capture some of the biggest, best, and most game-changing hands involving the $25K Fantasy roster. Here are five from the first week of action in the 2024 WSOP.

Livello 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ian Matakis opened the button to 7,500 and got called by both the blinds, one of which was Kristen Foxen from the big blind.

All three players checked the monotone flop of A♦9♦2♦ to see the 7♦ come on the turn. After the small blind and Foxen checked, Matakis fired a delayed continuation-bet of 6,000. Only Foxen made the call.

The K♦ river saw another check from Foxen. This time Matakis fired an overbet of 47,000, which prompted a swift fold from Foxen

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Ian Matakis	250,000 40,000	40,000

Kristen Foxen	166,000 24,000	24,000
