Kassouf Gets It In
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Four players saw a flop of J?3?4? being dealt. Ouri Cohen then checked from the big blind and Bernat Capdevila Montes followed suit from middle position. William Kassouf, on his second bullet, then bet out 9,500, a large portion of his stack, from the hijack.
Julien Sitbon folded his button, and Cohen relinquished his cards as well. Capdevila Montes, however, opted to put Kassouf all-in, and the latter snap called.
William Kassouf: 3?3?
Bernat Capdevila Montes: A?J?
Kassouf's set would not be beaten, as the 5?K? runout left Capdevila Montes with just a pair of jacks. Kassouf more than doubled up as his rollercoaster of a Day 1 continued.
