Kassam Binks the River to Triple
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rehman Kassam raised to 66,000 from middle position, an effective all-in with just 1,000 behind the line. Artur Martirosian called in the hijack, as did the player in the small blind.
The action checked to Martirosian, who bet out 65,000 on the 10♠2♦Q♦ flop. The small blind folded and Kassam committed his last chip to the pot.
Rehman Kassam: A♣J♥ 
Artur Martirosian: K♦Q♣
Martirosian was ahead with his pair of queens, but the 10♦ turn and the K♣ river completed Kassam's gutshot, to ensure a massive triple up.
