Getzwiller Coolers Kuether for the Chip Lead
Sean Getzwiller came in for a raise to 110,000 and Dutch Boyd called in the small blind. Joe Kuether was in the big blind and he made a raise to 280,000. It was back to Getzwiller, who went into the tank for a while. After about three minutes of thinking, he announced raise and assembled a massive bet of 455,000 on top of Kuether's raise. Boyd got out of the way and it was back to Kuether. After about a minute, he went all in and was snap called by Getzwiller. It was fairly obvious what we were looking at, and when the cards were flipped, the preflop cooler was confirmed.
