William Kassouf opened to 16,000 in middle position and faced a raise worth 48,000 from Adrian Mateos on the button. "Why so much? You always raise the button" started saying Kassouf before ending up calling, adding "I should raise here but I just call".

The flop brought {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and after Kassouf checked, Mateos continued for 34,000. Kassouf called once more after some thinking and talk.

The turn fell a {a-Hearts} and Kassouf checked saying "I let you bluff!". Mateos checked as well.

A {j-Hearts} appeared on the river. "Bingo!" said Kassouf while checking. Mateos checked again and tabled {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a pair of aces. "Easy game! Must be nice" told him Kassouf while Mateos was racking the pot with a smile.
