Entering three-handed play as the short stack, Foxen managed an early double-up to gain momentum.
Soon after, a critical hand unfolded in a blind-versus-blind confrontation. Chidwick moved all-in from the small blind, and Foxen called from the big blind holding a stronger hand.
The board ran against Foxen, leaving her drawing slim by the turn and eliminated when the river card offered no help.
