Kassouf Wins It on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
William Kassouf, Joseph Liberta, and Stoyan Madanzhiev arrived on a flop of 4♠K♦3♠. With around 8,000 chips in the middle, the action checked through.
The 9♣ turn then came and Kassouf led for 4,600 out of the small blind. Liberta, who had amassed a big stack of 455,000 thus far, folded the big blind but Madanzhiev called from the button.
The river then fell the Q♠ and Kassouf waited a while before betting another 15,000. This time, Madanzhiev made the fold and Kassouf chipped up to above starting stack.
