Kassouf With the Hero-Call of the Day
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The pot stood at around 40,000 with two players looking at a flop of 8♥9♥3♠.
Alon Huberman, in the small blind, checked to Will Kassouf, in the hijack. Kassouf bet out 35,000, and Huberman check-raised to 95,000. Kassouf called.
Huberman sized up to 135,000 on the 6♦ turn. Kassouf didn't back down.
The 6♣ river saw Huberman move all-in, asking for Kassouf's effective stack of 140,000. Kassouf spent several minutes in the tank, speaking his thought process aloud, speculating that Huberman was on a combo draw. Kassouf eventually made the call.
Huberman reluctantly tabled his hand, rolling over K♥10♥, just as Kassouf had predicted. Kassouf showed 10♦8♣ to claim this huge pot.
