Kossew On a Massive Stack

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joe Rahme
Joe Rahme

The hero earlier on, Joe Rahme has lost a massive pot to Jedd Kossew who stormed to the top of the leaderboard by quite some margin at the end of the first level after dinner.

It was the most classic of setups with the K♣K♦ for Rahme and the A♦A♠ of Kossew that got the chips into the middle. The board ran out 7♥6♣2♠4♥3♥ and that spelled the end for Rahme. Kossew also won the next much smaller pot without showdown against Jon Persent to build his stack further.

Table 16 was the next to break, but that had to wait after an enormous four-way all-in had brought no casualty and the main plus side pots needed to be split.

So what exactly had happened? Jon Persent raised to 3,500 and received three callers on the button as well as the blinds.

The flop came Q♣7♥5♥ and it checked to Persent, who bet 3,500. Gareth Fourie called on the button and Jaco Mouton jammed the small blind for 17,300. Keenan Pienaar in the big blind called, as did Persent and Fourie.

On the 2♣ turn, Pienaar pushed all-in and Persent reluctantly called, Fourie also put in his last 34,500 as well.

Jaco Mouton: 6♠4♠ All in
Gareth Fourie: 6♥4♦ All in
Keenan Pienaar: 7♦5♦ All in
Jon Persent: A♠Q♦

Persent needed an ace, queen or deuce to knock out three players. However, the twist then came with the 8♥ river as Mouton and Fourie improved to a straight. Mouton chopped the main pot with Fourie, Fourie won the larger side pot and Pienaar doubled the rest off Persent as no player busted!

Over on table 11, two players have been eliminated and the last one of them was Pieter "Sexy Piet" Terblanche in his colourful hoodie.

He got it in with 8♦8♣ against the A♠A♥ of Alan Jung and failed to get there on the J♦9♣4♥3♥2♦ board.

Jonathan Hoal tangled with Joe Rahme and the latter defended out of the blinds to check-call the 7♦6♦5♠ flop. On the 7♣ turn, Rahme check-raised and instantly called the shove by Hoal to create a massive pot.

Jonathan Hoal: 9♥8♥ All in
Joe Rahme: 7♠7♥

Rahme's turned quads had Hoal drawing dead to make the 10♥ river a formality.

"How do you raise and get all the chips in ... is that in your book?" fellow big stack Jedd Kossew asked with a smirk on the face.

Panayiotis Giannakopoulos limped in and called a raise to 1,800 by Colin Horgan in the big blind. On the K♣J♦7♠ flop, both players checked and Giannakopoulos bet the A♥ turn for 2,000 to earn a call. He bet again the J♣ river for 5,000 and Horgan then pulled the trigger with a large raise.

"Set? Giannakopoulos asked and shortly after said "a set of bullshit" before he folded. Horgan grinned and flashed his cards, the K♦J♥ for a full house.

"I only show to get some folds later," Horgan grinned and added "I get very aggro at times".

Simon Solomon got his short stack in with the A♠K♣ and had a classic flip against the Q♥Q♣ of Jonathan Hoal.

The board ran out 9♠7♥4♠J♥8♥ and that spelled the end for Solomon.

Soon after, Singh was flipping against Hoal in the following preflop contest.

Sugen Singh: A♥K♣ All in
Jonathan Hoal: 10♠10♦

The J♥9♦5♥2♦3♠ board brought no help either and Hoal won the second flip in a row.

A raising war broke out on the J♣8♠7♦K♦ turn on which Rajeev Poonhath jammed all-in for 25,500 when facing a squeeze to 18,500. Lee Thaver was his opponent, who needed a few seconds before making the call.

Rajeev Poonhath: K♣J♦ All in
Lee Thaver: J♠J♥

Poonhath was somewhat perplexed and another player pointed out it was a slow roll. The river was the Q♥ and that spelled the end for Poonhath.

Five ways to the A♣K♠10♣ flop, Sheldon Grove bet 1,100 and received no fewer than four callers. He was among those to check the 8♥ turn and Robert Cowley bet 5,500. Only Okkie Fourie called and they checked the 6♥ river on which Fourie won the pot with the A♥2♥.
