Ups and Down for Foltyn
Paul Foltyn, who has finished the day with around 20,000, claims to have "folded the last level". However, he will be relieved to have made the cash, surviving the bubble in dramatic circumstances when his pocket jacks held up against A-Q, a queen on the turn being followed by a jack on the river.
Whilst that pot gave him around 50,000 in chips, he was unable to build on his newly acquired stack, a later A-Q versus eights encounter seeing his stack once again bisected in half.
Still, he returns tomorrow, and is more than capable of running deep, as he proved when he made the final in this very event a couple years back.
