Kassouf Scores Huge Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
An early position player limped before Will Kassouf raised to 6,000 from the hijack. Action folded to the player in the big blind who shipped his 83,000 in the middle. The limper folded, with 59,000 in his stack, Kassouf had a decision for his tournament life.
"It looks like ace-king. It could be tens. I've got tens beat," Kassouf thought out loud. "If you've got aces or kings, you played it well. You're supposed to four-bet to 15,000 and I'm supposed to ship it. I'd rather ship it than call with this hand. How many players get paid?"
Finally, he made his decision. "In the words of Will Kassouf, if you got it, you got it."
