Fourie's Stack Gets a Small Boost

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded around to Rudolf Fourie in the small blind, who made it 8,000 to go. Gaspare Sposato was in the big blind and called.

Both checked the 99Q flop to see the 3 drop on the turn, where Fourie bet 16,000 and Sposato called.

A 5 landed on the river and both players quickly knuckled the table, and Fourie flipped over A3 for a pair of threes.

"Don't slowroll, don't slowroll!" said Fourie as Sposato hadn't revealed his cards yet. Sposato did eventually muck, and Fourie was pushed the pot.
