Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The turn read 6♣6♠5♠10♣ and George Chiriac bet 12,000 into the pot of about 21,000. William Kassouf was the only other player in the pot and made the call.
When the Q♣ hit the river, Chiriac shoved for his last 23,900, putting Kassouf in the tank.
"It's aces or nothing," said Kassouf, as he thought out the hand. "I was going to raise the flop, you shove, I call."
After using three time banks, Kassouf eventually splashed in a call to see Chiriac's K♥K♦.
"Yep, that makes sense," Kassouf concluded as he paid off the bet and tabled K♠Q♠.
