In a nail-biting finale on the latest episode of PokerGO’s No Gamble No Future, Kristen Foxen outshone Andrew Robl in a high-stakes battle that not only determined the winner of the $500,000 pot but also earned Foxen a massive $200,000 bonus for the biggest profit of the three-episode stretch. The dramatic final hand left poker fans on the edge of their seats as fortune swung dramatically in the final moments.
The Road to the Final Hand: Foxen vs. Robl
It all came down to the final hand in a game where every move was crucial. The blinds were set at $500/$1,000 with a $1,000 big blind ante, and the tension was palpable. With Mike Volfson straddling for $2,000, Andrew Robl, sitting with a $270,000 stack, made a bold raise to $6,000 without initially looking at his cards. At this point, Foxen, with $247,000 in her stack, decided to bring the heat, three-betting to $18,000 with A♠ K♣, a hand she was clearly confident in.
The other players at the table quickly folded, and Robl, now realizing the gravity of the situation, took a moment to inspect his cards before asking for Foxen’s remaining chip count. The title of Cash of the Titans was on the line, with $200,000 in bonus money for the player with the largest profit over the three episodes. Robl, realizing his hand was likely not strong enough to let Foxen walk away with the chips, made the decisive move and went all-in.
Foxen, without hesitation, called the all-in, setting the stage for a $497,500 pot. With the stakes so high, poker fans knew the final outcome was going to be nothing short of dramatic.
The Odds: Foxen Favoured But Not Guaranteed
At this stage, the odds were clearly stacked in Foxen’s favour. According to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator, Foxen had a 68% chance of winning the hand, while Robl was sitting at just a 27% chance. The remaining 5% was split between the possibility of a chopped pot. However, as any poker player knows, even the best odds aren’t a guarantee, and Robl still had a chance to pull off an upset.
As Foxen and Robl stared down the board, the excitement was palpable. Robl, a seasoned professional, couldn’t help but express his thoughts on the situation, acknowledging just how deep into the hand he was without any solid leverage. “Just for the record, I wanted to gamble,” Robl quipped, clearly resigned to the outcome as Foxen prepared to go for the win.
A Roller Coaster Flop: No Chopped Pot for Robl
With the cards revealed, the flop came down as J♦ 7♥ 2♣. This left Foxen firmly in control of the hand with an 80% chance of taking it all. The turn brought the 6♥, which meant there would be no chance of a chopped pot. Robl now needed one of just three outs—remaining hearts that could keep him alive.
Poker fans were left hanging on every moment, hoping for a miracle from Robl. But it wasn’t to be. The river card dropped, and it was the 5♥—sealing Robl’s fate. Not only did the river card hand Foxen the massive pot, but it also earned her the title and the $200,000 bonus that came with it.
Foxen, who had appeared calm and collected up until that moment, couldn’t hide her excitement as she realized the magnitude of the win. She looked both thrilled and slightly shocked, as the last-minute events unfolded. The intensity of the moment was clear, and her victory seemed all the more sweet given the final turn of events.
The Aftermath: Robl’s Resignation and Foxen’s Triumph
As the chips were counted and the result became final, it was clear that Foxen had earned the $500,000 pot and the additional bonus. Robl, despite his best efforts, had to watch as the title slipped through his fingers. But poker is a game of highs and lows, and Robl, ever the professional, took the loss in stride.
“I’ve been in these situations before,” Robl said after the hand, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of poker. “It’s all part of the game.”
Foxen, meanwhile, was left reflecting on what had been an incredibly intense and dramatic finish. The PokerGO cameras captured her excitement, as she held up the giant stack of chips and celebrated her big win. It was a fitting conclusion to a thrilling episode that will no doubt go down in poker history.
