Rudolf Fourie "Just Cannot Lose"
Trong Hieu Ngo is all-in for more than 100,000 after the 8♦ 7♦ 5♣ T♦ turn and faces the red-hot running Rudolf Fourie. He is ahead with Q♣ Q♦ versus 9♦ 9♣ but Fourie spikes the 6♥ on the river for the straight.
"You just cannot lose," Ngo sighs, snaps a picture of the board and then heads out of the tournament area.
