Koss Stays Alive!

We hadn't heard too much from Robert Koss, but he's still here after a huge double-up through Tristan Wade.

The action folded to Koss who open-shoved for 715,000 from middle position with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, but he cringed when he saw Wade snap-call from the big blind with {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. That pain turned to shock and elation after he struck gold on the flop of {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the repeat {5-Clubs} on the turn gave him the full house.

Down to just two outs, Wade only shrugged and then started to cut out the stacks when the {3-Clubs} bricked out on the river.
