Tim Capretta Busts Scott Stewart
Feb 22, '21
Alex Foxen raised to 45,000 from under-the-gun and was met with a three-bet shove for 300,000 from Scott Stewart.
The action then folded to Tim Capretta on the button, and he moved all-in for just about 2,150,000. Foxen mucked his pocket nines face up, and then regretted his fold after seeing Stewart’s AJ was sharing outs with Capretta’s AK.

Capretta now has 2,600,000.
