Not even that good.

Yeah, you do see occasionally Foxton tried to engage with Cotola.

Solve for 3 -bit.

But, you know, Cotola hasn't given any information, which I like.

You don't think that little has given him anything?

He did that last time as well.

He did.

But he was bluffing both times.

Check.

This is action.

The pair versus the pair and flush draw.

Check.

He's checked back.

Oh, my.

Jinx.

Foxen made the flush.

And Katola has completely under -repped his hand.

We saw this before though, Randy.

Aussie checked back

Jack -10, allowed Foxen to improve to a backdoor flush, and was able to find a river fold.

He's going to have to find that same discipline, or he's going to have to boat up on the river.

Well, he can't fold for a quarter million bet right now, given he's got two pair.

Can't improve, might have the best hand.

there's the call 800 000 in the middle an aussie boat up

he can it's a full house versus the flush and he checked back the flop so it's so disguised

I think Foxen might overbet the river

and he's going to get raised I mean you have to believe

you're up against a naked king sometimes you want to maximize against trips you might be up against Queen -10.

Foxen thinks he's got Katola cooked.

550, not an overbet.

550k, that's right.

Very chunky nonetheless and Aussie with a clear raise.

Near nuts.

What's the price, Aussie?

How much does this customer need to pay to see your dish?

He's going to throw in a time bank.

It's so sick, too, that

Aussie has the image to get paid off on a big river raise.

If there's one spot he's consistently bluffed in all of these matches, it's raising rivers.

Now you've got the goods.

Foxen's going to have a very hard time getting away from any price here.

All in.

All in is the play.

Oh my god, I can't believe it.

This is so gross.

How does Cattola have a full house in this spot?

He checked back the flop with two pair.

Do you think Foxen's going to believe that?

That's exactly it and combine the all -in choice with the fact

that Foxen might think the only credible value raise is a flush, but flushes won't go all -in here.

They're not strong enough.

If Foxen calls here, it's just over.

He'll be down six million dollars, and I don't see how he can fold.

It really doesn't add up Randy.

This looks like a Desperation Bluff, but it's not.

It's the full house.

in the bluff again again oh he responded or is this the first time

i know you watch the hands in the toilet no i didn't yeah no

no more time banks what does the table talk mean Call.

He calls.

The biggest pot.

11 million dollars.

Foxen loses.

GG.

I guess we have to finish tomorrow good could be action tomorrow let's see

Fox and down six million dollars

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
