Kassouf's Kings Hold Up
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jamie Nixon opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 6,000. Will Kassouf then made it 18,000 from the cutoff before Biliyan Petleshkov four-bet jammed 119,500 from the cutoff.
The action folded back to Nixon, who asked for a count. Seeing that he was covered by a small amount, he elected to let this hand go. Kassouf said ''Well, if you have aces you have aces'', and put in the call in hopes of obtaining a bounty token.
Viliyan Petleshkov: A♦K♥
Will Kassouf: K♦K♠
The aces remained absent on the Q♠6♦J♠5♠2♥ runout, and no Broadway was turned or rivered either. Petleshkov was out but traveled to the bounty desk with a handful of tokens, so he may yet turn a big profit in this tournament.
