Foxen pulls off stunning bluff
The board read 
when Foxen went to work. She turned top pair, but the river improved Coleman to two pair.
- Kristen Foxen:
- David Coleman:
Foxen bet 165K into the pot of 330K, only to see Coleman raise to 575K. Most players would make a crying call here. Some might find the fold. Foxen came back over the top to 1.2 million.
"Oh wow!" said Ali Nejad on commentary. "Of all the options, Brent, we did not see this out of Krissy."
"Absolutely filthy," said Brent Hanks. "Absolutely filthy, using that eight in her hand, a key card."
"This is so nifty," continued Nejad. "And just consider that she's left herself 395K back. Green has 585K. Would Kristen ever get herself into this kind of exchange with me, with less than tens up? That's the thought on Coleman's mind."
Coleman tanked and decided to fold.
Foxen gave him the choice of looking at one of her two cards – and ended up showing the ace with a big smile on her face.
Coleman takes the title
Coleman went on to win his first PokerGO Tour (PGT) title of the year, beating Foxen heads-up.
He had more than a 6:1 lead when Foxen set a preflop trap by just calling with , inducing a shove from Coleman with 
. Foxen made the call, but Coleman flopped a queen to seal the win.
With Cherish Andrews finishing sixth, Brock Wilson won the overall series title – going back-to-back in PGT Majors after winning the PokerGO Cup series last month.
