Fourie Wins Gargantuan Pot to Sucker Punch Kossew
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There were 25,000 chips out in front of Gareth Fourie and Jedd Kossew had then four-bet from the next seat to 60,000. It folded back to Fourie and he moved all-in with a large stack only to get snap-called by the only player that covered him.
Gareth Fourie: J?J? 
Jedd Kossew: A?A?
Fourie was shell-shock almost instantly and found no help on the K?9?8? turn, but retained some back door equity. Instead, he spiked the J? turn and gasped an "oh wow". The table fell silent ahead of the 4? river before Fourie's double was counted. He was in there for 292,500 and skyrocketed into the lead.
"I have a feeling you won't be leaving any time soon," Justin Cohen told the new chip leader.
