Asensio and Chen Chop Kassouf's Chip
A raise of 1,300 was called by four players before the flop including William Kassouf, James Chen, and Marcelo Asensio.
The flop came down 
and action checked to Asensio who bet 3,100. He was called by James Chen before William Kassouf started talking.
"How many cards left to come?" Kassouf asked. "Two? Two? Alright, Two. Anything can happen right." Kassouf called and everyone else folded, bringing three-way action to the turn.
The turn was the 
and Asensio led out again, this time for 8,500.
Chen started to reach for chips.
"Easy tiger," Kassouf said. "You're sandwiched between a rock and a hard place."
Chen called.
"Taiwan's number one player," Kassouf continued. "James Chen ladies and gentlemen. One more card right? Anything can still happen. I call."
On the 
river, Asensio checked over to Chen. Chen put out a bet of 18,500.
"Wow, another cooler," Kassouf started up again. "Unbelievable."
As Kassouf started thinking, he broke into a rendition of Enrique Iglesias' Hero. "I can be your hero, baby."
"Wait, he bet?" Kassouf continued. "He can't do that I checked out of turn. Doesn't that stand? Am I allowed to show my cards?"
Kassouf sighed, then folded. "I had a feeling this was gonna be a sick one."
Asensio then dropped into the tank, and after about a minute and a half, he called.
Chen showed 
while Asensio was holding 
and the two chopped the pot, each with two pair.
"Wow," Kassouf said. "I had way more outs than I thought."
