Unbelievable, Incredible, Amazing Quadruple-up for Fortey

Says "Hi" to the kids

OK, this is complicated.

Christian Fischbacher limped in under the gun. To his left, Simon Kullenberg pushed all in for his last 2,800. It folded around to Colin Fortey on the small blind, who called all in for just 2,600. On the big blind, Mark Vos then raised to 7,000 -- only for Fischbacher to reraise to 20,000.

Vos tanked up for a long time, sitting back in his chair and meditating upon the felt. Eventually he passed.

Kullenberg: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Fortey: {7-Spades} {5-Spades}
Fischbacher: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Vos: "F***! What a bitch! I was so close to pushing..."

Board: {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Fortey pulled a full house out of thin air to quadruple up, and the dealer initially declared Kullenberg busted before realizing his mistake and giving him back his 200 change.

Fortey: "Make sure you put a big headline on that..."
