Kassouf is Nine-High like a Boss Again...

Livello 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The under-the-gun player limped and Will Kassouf raised to 7,000 from middle position. Erik Cajelais in the hijack raised to 20,000, which was called by Kassouf.

The flop of Q♥10♦8♥ prompted Kassouf to fire off all of his usual table talk routine. The loudmouth Londoner said "It is either all-in or fold for me." and moved all in for 70,000.

Cajelais made a quick fold and Kassouf announced "nine-high like a boss, the third time today!" and tabled 9♥4♥ for a flush draw and gutshot.

Cole-Gardner Doubles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The under-the-gun player bet 2,200 and was called by middle position, the hijack, and the button. Alexander Cole-Gardner in the big blind raised to 12,000.

The under-the-gun player folded, but middle position moved all in for 55,000. The button folded out of turn, which prompted Cole-Gardner to snap-call out of turn. The hijack who was yet to act was stuck between a rock and a hard place and eventually folded. Cole-Gardner then under-called for 35,300.

Alexander Cole-Gardner: K♥K♦
Middle Position: A♣Q♥

The middle position was behind and despite hitting a queen on the flop, there was no further help on the Q♠10♥7♥2♣2♠ which gave Cole-Gardener, (who final tabled the Lucky 7's event two days ago) the double-up.
