Fourie Wins Gargantuan Pot to Sucker Punch Kossew
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There were 25,000 chips out in front of Gareth Fourie and Jedd Kossew had then four-bet from the next seat to 60,000. It folded back to Fourie and he moved all-in with a large stack only to get snap-called by the only player that covered him.
Gareth Fourie: J♦J♠
Jedd Kossew: A♥A♠
Fourie was shell-shock almost instantly and found no help on the K♠9♠8♦ turn, but retained some back door equity. Instead, he spiked the J♥ turn and gasped an "oh wow". The table fell silent ahead of the 4♠ river before Fourie's double was counted. He was in there for 292,500 and skyrocketed into the lead.
"I have a feeling you won't be leaving any time soon," Justin Cohen told the new chip leader.
