Fourie's King Good at Showdown

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was a raise from under the gun to 2,400 and Rudolf Fourie called from the hijack. Marc Foggin also called from the cutoff.

The three saw a flop of 5K9 where it checked to Fourie, who bet 7,000. Foggin called, and the under-the-gun player folded.

A 4 dropped on the turn and Fourie showed no signs of slowing down as he announced a bet of 18,000. Foggin took just a few seconds before he called.

Fourie did eventually slow down when the scary A came on the river, and Foggin knuckled back.

Fourie then showed a pair of kings with KQ, and Foggin mucked.
