Getzwiller Coolers Kuether for the Chip Lead

Sean Getzwiller came in for a raise to 110,000 and Dutch Boyd called in the small blind. Joe Kuether was in the big blind and he made a raise to 280,000. It was back to Getzwiller, who went into the tank for a while. After about three minutes of thinking, he announced raise and assembled a massive bet of 455,000 on top of Kuether's raise. Boyd got out of the way and it was back to Kuether. After about a minute, he went all in and was snap called by Getzwiller. It was fairly obvious what we were looking at, and when the cards were flipped, the preflop cooler was confirmed.

Kuether: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Getzwiller: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Not only did Getzwiller have the one hand that could beat Kuether, but he also had both of his suits, meaning Kuether would need a two-outer to win. The flop came out {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Getzwiller was still out in front. He stayed there on the turn, the {3-Spades}, and the river, the {5-Clubs}. Getzwiller scooped the massive pot and is now a huge chip leader as we go on break. Meanwhile, Kuether is down to three big blinds.
