Kristen Foxen And Andrew Robl Battle For $500,000 Poker Pot

Must read

The final hand of the night brought some real fireworks on the latest episode of PokerGO’s No Gamble No Future. Poker pro and sports bettor Sean Perry was in prime position to win the $200,000 bonus, which was awarded to the player who posted the biggest profit over the three-episode stretch, but a cooler on the final deal of the session left him watching helplessly from the sidelines.

The action began with blinds at $500$1,000 with a $1,000 big blind ante. With Mike Volfson straddling for $2,000, Andrew Robl raised to $6,000 with AClub Suit 10Club Suit and $270,000 in front of him, having not looked at his hand. Kristen Foxen peeled back AHeart Suit KClub Suit and three-bet to $18,000 with a stack of $247,000.

The rest of the table got out of the way with Robl finally looking at his cards, and then at Foxen’s stack, asking for a chip count of how much she had remaining. With the title of “Cash of the Titans” going to the player with the biggest profit, Robl moved all in and Foxen quickly called, bringing the pot to $497,500.

According to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator, Foxen was a 68% favorite with Robl at 27% and a 5% chance of a chopped pot. Perry, disappointed by the turn of events, was now hoping for a chop.

“Just for the record, I wanted to gamble,” Robl noted after seeing how far behind he was.

There would be no chopped pot. The flop brought JDiamond Suit 7Heart Suit 2Club Suit, moving Foxen to an 80% favorite. The 6Heart Suit on the turn meant no chopped pot and just three outs for Robl.

The river brought the 5Heart Suit, delivering not only a massive pot for Foxen but also the title and the $200,000 that came with it. She looked excited and a bit shocked at how the last-minute events played out.

Watch the complete hand below.

The win continues a huge run for Foxen this year. This summer, she finished 13th in the World Series of Poker main event for $600,000 and she won her fifth bracelet in October in an online event for $356,412. She was also recently named to the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.

Perry finished up about $240,000. Volfson, the owner of a medical billing company, was the only other profitable player at the table, coming out ahead for $65,000.
