Giulio Mascolo raised to 1,000 on the button and Will Kassouf - quieter than usual - called in the small blind. Jean Zaffran three-bet to 3,500 from the big blind. Mascolo then four-bet to 8,500.
Kassouf surveyed his opponents - still not saying a word - before folding. Zaffran counted out his stack, looked at his opponent's stack before five-betting to 18,500 with barely 5,000 behind. Mascolo moved all in and Zaffran called.
Giulio Mascolo: ![{a-Diamonds}](/img/cards/da.gif?1)
![{a-Spades}](/img/cards/as.gif?1)
Jean Zaffran: ![{a-Clubs}](/img/cards/ac.gif?1)
![{a-Hearts}](/img/cards/ah.gif?1)
Kassouf burst into life.
"*Les noix de coco!" he said joyously to Frenchman Zaffran. "Any sweats about?"
The flop came ![{k-Hearts}](/img/cards/kh.gif?1)
![{7-Diamonds}](/img/cards/7d.gif?1)
with Mascolo needing running diamonds to eliminate Zaffran. Luckily for Zaffran the board completed ![{4-Spades}](/img/cards/4s.gif?1)
and left Zaffran relieved and Kassouf annoyed he didn't see more fireworks.
"**Où est le diamond, diamond?" he said to Zaffran, but whether Zaffran understood Kassouf's French accent or not, Zaffran could only shrug in response.
*The coconuts
** Where is the diamond, diamond?
