Cajelais Gets the Better of Kassouf

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The action folded to Will Kassouf on the button, and he raised which Erik Cajelais called in the big blind. The latter checked, and Kassouf continued for 1,900 on the {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop, and Cajelais responded by three-betting to 5,300.

"I hope you haven't misread your hand? Check again, I will check mine too," said Kassouf.

Kassouf made the call and told Cajelais "If you got it, you got it."

The turn came the {8-Hearts}, and Cajelais continued for 7,000.

"Well if I call this I've got to call the river to haven't I!?, We can't both have it. I'm 99% sure it's not a split pot" said Kassouf before he called.

Cajelais checked on the {7-Spades} river, and Kassouf thought about his next move.

"That's a bit of a silly river card isn't?" said Kassouf. He thought for a minute before a player called the clock and Kassouf immediately checked behind.

Cajelais tabled two pair with {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and took down the pot.
