Fourie Out and Back Into Same Seat

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a heads-up turn of K♠6♥3♠6♣, Rudolf Fourie checked out of the blinds and Leonard Dormehl bet 5,000. The check-shove by Fourie followed for 32,900 and Dormehl asked for a count, then called.

Rudolf Fourie: 8♥6♥ All in
Leonard Dormehl: K♥Q♠

"Everybody but you knew what I have," Fourie joked and the river then brought the sucker punch with the K♣. Fourie re-entered and drew the very same seat.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of K♦9♦8♦ with only a few of the players at the table back in their seats, Devid Berlin bet 3,500 when checked to. Maxwell Young check-raised to 8,000 and Berlin called. They checked the 7s] turn and Young bet the 2♠ river for 11,000.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was a spectacular showdown unfolding over on table 12 when three flushes collided, and apparently Devid Berlin had also folded what would have been a flush as well.

On a flop of J♣8♣2♣ with 13,000 in the middle, the chips went in with Stephen Courtney and Bernard Gossard at risk against Ryan Brauer.

Stephen Courtney: A♣7♣ All in
Bernard Gossard: K♣Q♣ All in
Ryan Brauer: 6♣3♣

The 3♦ turn and 2♠ river were more or less a formality as Courtney tripled up, while Gossard doubled the remainder of his short stack behind against Brauer.

Player	Chips	Progress
Stephen Courtney	110,000 65,000	65,000
Ryan Brauer	38,000 38,000	38,000
Bernard Gossard	12,400 17,600	17,600

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a three-way flop of Q♦8♥3♥, Ashley Hira in the small blind was the only one to check-call a bet of 2,000 by Jamie McCarthy on the button while Bradley Moore folded. Hira check-called for another 6,000 on the 9♠ turn and they checked the 8♠ river.

Hira tabled the 6♥6♦ but was beaten by Q♣J♦.

"I didn't think you had a queen," he said and then slammed down a shot that Rudolf Fourie had ordered.

One table later, Hira raised the button to get called twice. Gilbert Tin Fook bet the K♥10♣3♣ flop for 2,000 and Hira called, jokingly declaring "I give it to you Gilbert".

They checked the 9♥ turn and 10♠ river and Hira won the pot with J♥9♠, as Tin Fook had missed the flush draw with Q♣5♣.
