William Kassouf
William Kassouf

A player limped from the cutoff to start the hand. By doing that, he allowed William Kassouf on the button and the the small blinde to do the same, while the big blind checked.

On the flop JKA, the first players to act checked to the hijack who bet 1,000. Kassouf called, as well as the small blind. On the turn K, everybody checked. Finally, all three players checked again on the river K.

The small blind didn't have time to reveal his cards that the cutoff revealed A6 for a full house. Kassouf and the small blind didn't have better hands and gave back their cards to the dealer.
