Kassouf Goes Out with Nine High Like a Boss
About 55,000 was in the middle on a turn board of 8♦6♣2♠A♠ and Marte Sandberg had checked her big blind to Will Kassouf on the button.
Kassouf moved all in for his last 39,000, sending Sandberg into the tank. After over a minute of thought, she made the call, only to hear the words Kassouf made famous.
"Nine high like a boss," he proudly declared as he revealed that he indeed had his trademark hand and would need help.
Will Kassouf: 9♠5♠
Marte Sandberg: K♥K♦
Kassouf's nine-high (like a boss) needed another spade or a seven to come on the river to avoid elimination, but the 10♦ fell instead, sending the pot to Sandberg and ending Kassouf's day in the tournament.
After the hand, Kassouf joked with the PokerNews live reporting team, "I need to quit doing that. It's getting me in trouble."
