Kassouf Gets It In
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Four players saw a flop of J♦3♦4♠ being dealt. Ouri Cohen then checked from the big blind and Bernat Capdevila Montes followed suit from middle position. William Kassouf, on his second bullet, then bet out 9,500, a large portion of his stack, from the hijack.
Julien Sitbon folded his button, and Cohen relinquished his cards as well. Capdevila Montes, however, opted to put Kassouf all-in, and the latter snap called.
William Kassouf: 3♠3♣
Bernat Capdevila Montes: A♥J♥
Kassouf's set would not be beaten, as the 5♣K♠ runout left Capdevila Montes with just a pair of jacks. Kassouf more than doubled up as his rollercoaster of a Day 1 continued.
