Aces vs Aces featuring Will Kassouf
Giulio Mascolo raised to 1,000 on the button and Will Kassouf - quieter than usual - called in the small blind. Jean Zaffran three-bet to 3,500 from the big blind. Mascolo then four-bet to 8,500.
Kassouf surveyed his opponents - still not saying a word - before folding. Zaffran counted out his stack, looked at his opponent's stack before five-betting to 18,500 with barely 5,000 behind. Mascolo moved all in and Zaffran called.
Giulio Mascolo: 
Jean Zaffran: 
Kassouf burst into life.
"*Les noix de coco!" he said joyously to Frenchman Zaffran. "Any sweats about?"
The flop came 
with Mascolo needing running diamonds to eliminate Zaffran. Luckily for Zaffran the board completed 
and left Zaffran relieved and Kassouf annoyed he didn't see more fireworks.
"**Où est le diamond, diamond?" he said to Zaffran, but whether Zaffran understood Kassouf's French accent or not, Zaffran could only shrug in response.
*The coconuts
** Where is the diamond, diamond?
