button in SafariKassouf Five-Bets; Hallaert Joins Field
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Mihai Gheonu had raised on the button when Will Kassouf three-bet to 2,400 in the small blind. Nicolas Julien then upped the ante to 5,500 in the big blind, folding out Gheonu.
Kassouf took some time before casually tossing in a five-bet to 17,400, over half his stack. Julien had seen enough and mucked his cards, forfeiting the pot to Kassouf.
At another table, PokerStars ambassador Kenny Hallaert took his seat next to chip leader Taran Parmar.
