Kassouf! Right Where It Hurts

[user46392]

A very curious hand has resulted in a considerable boost for bespectacled Englishman William Kassouf.

Albert Iversen raised to 24,500 and got himself calls from both Kassouf in the small blind and Niall Smyth in the big blind. He rubbed his hands together in a slightly witchy manner. "You gonna take two out?" inquired Bradley Verburg. "That's the plan," replied Iversen.

They saw the {9-Spades}

flop, which they all checked, and they proceeded to the {2-Diamonds}

turn. Kassouf now bet out an almost pot-sized 70,000 and Smyth got out of the way, but after some thought Iversen flat-called.

River: {4-Hearts}

Now Kassouf dwelled. He dwelled long enough to have the clock called on him, and still he sat with his hands arched over his stack, unmoving, Eventually, with just the tiniest shake in his hands, he bet another 70,000, leaving himself just 70,000 behind. Iversen just called -- and mucked when Kassouf turned over {9-Diamonds}
