Nine-High Like a Boss

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

On arrival at the table, the board read Q598. Moreno Plozza had pushed all in on the flop, and gotten called by both Florian Montes and William Kassouf. On the turn, Montes checked to Kassouf, who bet out a bet of 100,000, barely enough to put Montes all-in.

Montes thought about it for a bit but eventually sighed and folded. The other two players tabled their cards

Moreno Plozza: AQ
William Kassouf: 89

Kassouf uttered his obligatory ''nine-high like a boss'' line, whereto Plozza responded: ''You have no right to complain about luck''. Kassouf's two pair held on the 4 river and Plozza threw his bounty chip to Kassouf across the table.

He left while stating several more times that Kassouf should never complain again, before he concluded: ''Nice play''.

Christophe Panetti: A8
Florian Duta: 102

Zhewen Hu: 33
Kent Roed: AA

Roed looked set to claim a bounty with his pocket aces, until the board ran out 68763 to give Hu a set of threes on the river. He doubled up and stayed in the game.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

During the break, an ear-deafening yell could be heard coming from the bounty desk. Upon investigation, it became evident that the culprit was Aurelien Russo , who had one of two €100,000 bounties in his hand.

Russo, who came in 29th place during the EPT Paris Main Event earlier this year, has just over €100,000 in recorded lifetime earnings. A massive score for the Frenchman, who just gained a huge bankroll boost.
