Fourie Scoops Three Ways
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
With a A♣4♠2♠ flop face up on the felt, and 27,000 in the pot, the action was on Yuval Bronshtein in the hijack, who potted it for 27,000.
Conrad Fourie then raised to 114,000 on the button, before James Chen moved all in from the small blind, having both players covered. Bronshtein called, putting his 145,500 into the pot, and Fourie did the same, putting 212,000 into the middle.
Yuval Bronshtein: A♦K♣5♠3♣
Conrad Fourie: A♠K♠9♣2♦
James Chen: 5♥5♦3♦2♥
Two players had flopped the nut straight, but were both left drawing dead to Fourie's flush when the J♠ hit the turn.
The Q♠ completed the board, and as Fourie pulled in the huge pot, Bronshtein joined the rail.
