Family Pots
The Day 1b field size is approaching 700 players at the end of the first level. Many players are seeing flops, but giving up on hands early.

A player from late position three-bet the pot to 550 and got calls from the big blind before the three players to already put more money in the pot called.
The 
appeared on the board and the action folded around to the player that three-bet preflop who fired out a continuation bet of 1,075. Everyone, including Kassouf, quickly threw their hand into the muck in succession.
