[@davidlee9572]

It's great she's getting coverage but in the latest live stream video, the one commentator said something like, all I care about is seeing a woman at the final table. Donno if they're just weird or some social justice knight.

[@samuraijack1371]

She has pulled off 2 -3 big river bluff in big spots. Those have been defining moments of her run. He deserves to be on FT. I think FT would be great with Astetd, Foxen and Kim. All high stakes crushers

[@hushpuckena126]

A wild ride yesterday, but Kristen Foxen is very much alive now, not least of all due to this move. Of the eighteen players remaining, neither she nor Nicklas Astedt are leading in chip count, but they are well up the list, and in my mind the most dangerous players left with the departure of Brian Rast.

[@49ersfan21]

Niklas is a scary opponent to have with 18 left I promise you he won’t let the moment get in the way.

[@travotravo6190]

Been rooting for her since I saw her in the top 100 chip counts. Be so awesome if she captures the Main.

[@dealerG]

Checking JJ after 3betting pre on that board is a straight-up leak, especially JJ with no spade. Maybe with specifically JsJh he can check because Kristen has slightly more value with JTs in range and fewer draws like AJs-KJs but that's a reach.

Position is important, but so is knowing and understanding your opponent.

@@DixiePokerAce Definitely!! I think that if the other player was last to act he could have mad the same move Foxen did in the river and won that pot. Right? :)

[@JelloJiggleMan]

what does position have to do with it ? if the dude bet first on the river or even on the turn, he would likely have won the hand...to address your statement more directly, position was irrelevant, it's the fact that she had the courage to bluff...she could have been first to act and made the same bet and it would have worked just the same

[@Davepq100]

[@Rickieruck]

Yall give foxen too much credit to fold 😂😂😂

[@kleckamania4477]

Moroz's downfall here was checking after the river instead of throwing out a mid sized feeler bet. Checking left him wide open to attack. No way either player felt confident with that sketchy board. Position determined this one.

[@biillyy]

let’s go foxen!!!

[@andreasvukman]

Moroz plays this hand completely wrong. He is the pre-flop agressor and then he checks both on the flop and turn? With his stack? I'm sorry, but you don't hand over initiative to the player who has a significantly smaller stack and who has position on you. Even with the ace on the turn he can continue firing because it's obvious that Foxen doesn't have AK. Had she had AK, she would've gone all in pre-flop.

[@andrewlachapelle4]

I agree 100%, Moroz lost his advantage quickly. On top of this he also had plenty of bluffs he could play even if thought Foxen was holding a Club. All that said without the context of Foxen's other hands and how she played and how he played it's hard to give him criticism for one hand, not to mention it was a scary board for him. I do agree with you.

[@Hunting4Data]

He missed a flop valuebet with a range advantage. Initative is an outdated concept that no longer applies in highstakes poker hence all the donk leading in tritons.

[@aucourant9998]

She shouldn't have looked at her hand at the end. She would have looked when the black ace showed if she suspected there was a chance of a flush and hadn't memorised her cards. Moroz probably feared an ace in Kristen's hand or Queens.

[@uofajoe99]

[@nortonmalcontent8778]

How does she win this hand? With position and an incredibly favorable board run out to bluff at. I'd be interested to see what the solvers say about the river bet sizing as it seemed a bit large.

[@JonCookeBridge]

The solver picks JJ no spade as prime bluff for her opponent and probably also slow plays more big flushes on the river. Sizing was fine. Put an ace in the blender. Go much smaller an Ace calls relatively comfortably.

[@nortonmalcontent8778]

@@JonCookeBridge I see that logic. My thought process was that something a bit smaller so it looks more like a value bet for a flush, but not so small as to look like a blocker bet because as you said, any ace will call easily. This is because if your opponent does hold a flush or hero calls an ace anyway you lose less.

I dont like the smile at the end. When I bluff, I try to remain expressionless for the next time I bluff. That bluff took heart, but it's in an easy spot to pull off based on him having two red jacks, and her having having position on him. Spades on turn and river that are over cards to his pair also make it hard for him to call.
