The latest episode of PokerGO’s No Gamble No Future delivered an electrifying climax as Kristen Foxen and Andrew Robl faced off in a dramatic $500,000 showdown. The final hand of the night was a high-stakes clash that left viewers on the edge of their seats and cemented Foxen’s incredible run in 2023.
The Setup
The action unfolded with blinds set at $500/$1,000 and a $1,000 big blind ante, with Mike Volfson straddling for $2,000. Andrew Robl, holding A♣10♣ and a massive stack of $270,000, raised to $6,000—without even looking at his cards. Kristen Foxen, sitting on $247,000, peeked at A♥K♣ and responded decisively with a three-bet to $18,000.
The rest of the table folded, leaving Foxen and Robl to duel it out. Robl finally looked at his cards, assessed the situation, and asked for a count of Foxen’s remaining stack. Knowing the stakes, Robl moved all-in, and Foxen quickly called, building a jaw-dropping $497,500 pot.
The Odds
Heading into the showdown, Foxen held the advantage with a 68% chance to win, according to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator. Robl’s odds stood at 27%, while a chop was just a slim 5% possibility. Sean Perry, who was poised to claim a $200,000 bonus for the biggest profit over the three-episode stretch, now found himself watching helplessly, hoping for a rare chop to save his lead.
The Drama Unfolds
As the cards hit the felt, the tension soared.
- Flop: J♦7♥2♣ — Foxen’s lead increased to 80%, leaving Robl in a precarious position.
- Turn: 6♥ — The chance of a chop vanished, and Robl was down to just three outs.
- River: 5♥ — The final card sealed Foxen’s victory, delivering her the massive pot and the coveted $200,000 profit bonus.
Robl, gracious in defeat, quipped, “Just for the record, I wanted to gamble,” after seeing how far behind he was in the hand.
