William Kassouf opened to 3,500 from early position and it folded to Razvan Belea in the cutoff who three-bet to 9,100. The rest of the table got out of the way and Kassouf made the call.
The flop fanned out K♣4♥3♦ and Kassouf checked to Belea who continued for 3,400. Kassouf took a moment before sliding forward a check-raise to 15,400.
"I've got king-queen. If you have ace-king or aces you're ahead. If not I have you beat," said Kassouf just before Belea made the call.
The 8♦ hit the turn and Kassouf kept up the aggression with a bet of 25,000, which again Belea called.
On the 10♥ river Kassouf elected on a check over to Belea.
"Why did you check now?" said Belea as he pondered his decision.
"I only get called by better if I shove. I have king-queen I told you," replied Kassouf.
Belea eventually moved a stack of chips forward and announced all in, covering the roughly 35,000 remaining for Kassouf, who went deep in the tank.
"I can't beat anything you would shove with. You must have me beat right?" asked Kassouf.
After close to a minute of thought, Kassouf eventually made the fold and Belea tabled A♥A♠ to show Kassouf he made a good fold.
"That's what I put you on," said Kassouf as Belea stacked up his newly acquired chips and jumped into the chip lead.

Nicola Bertolucci opened to 3,500 in middle position and Baptiste Hannois called from the next seat before the button also called. Thierry Oldak then three-bet to 9,500 from the big blind and Bertolucci called.
At this point, Hannois four-bet jammed a stack of 48,500 and the button folded before Oldak moved all in with the exact same amount. After some groaning, Bertolucci folded.
Thierry Oldak: 8♥8♦
Baptiste Hannois: Q♣9♣
Hannois took a lead in the flip as the flop landed J♦4♦9♦ to pair his nine but Oldak picked up a flush draw. He couldn't hit it as the board finished out 6♠J♠ and he was eliminated as Bertolucci continued to groan, apparently having the best of it the whole way.
