Mascolo Doubles With Aces

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Giulio Mascolo was all in and at risk for his last 10,000 from under the gun and the small blind looked him up. When the cards were tabled, the opponents at the table let out some gasps. Mascolo had the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. The small blind only had {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and joked "five on the river," before seeing the board run out {10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Close enough, but no suckout this time around to put Mascolo back into contention.

Kassouf From Early Position

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

William Kassouf opened from early position for 1,400 and picked up one caller in Louis Vial in the big blind.

The flop was {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Vial check-called a 1,200 bet from Kassouf. They both checked the turn {a-Diamonds} and on the river {q-Clubs} Vial check-called a 3,700 bet from Kassouf.

Kassouf was a little reluctant to reveal both his cards but with some help from the dealer he showed {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} which made a straight. Vial had the same hand with his {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

Gordon Busts in Two Hands

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Chris Gordon from under the gun and Abraham Passet in the big blind clashed and both players were very short. Passet was at risk for 8,700 with the {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Gordon had that beat with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The board came {K-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Passet found his ace to double.

Gordon was forced all in from the big blind in the next hand and Attila Farkas limped. Giulio Mascolo raised to 2,300 and the action folded back to Farkas, who pushed all in. Mascolo folded and Gordon flipped over {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Farkas had {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Gordon was drawing dead by the turn of a board {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

Liv Boeree Jams Turn

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

PokerStars Team Pro Liv Boeree was in the cut-off in a pot against big blind Yannick Michel.

There was 20,000 in the pot on the turn of a board reading {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} and Michel checked it over to Boeree who sat in contemplation for a short while before moving all in for an approximately pot sized bet.

It was Michel’s turn to think. He took rather longer and in the end it was a rather dejected fold to give Boeree the pot.

The Kassouf Effect

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

Louis Vial bet 2,800 on the turn of a board reading {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} which got one fold but William Kassouf in the small blind called.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Kassouf riffled his chips and without saying a word bet 7,000. Vial, looking like he hated it, sighed and called.

Kassouf showed {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} for the straight.

Vial mucked and grabbed his cost to get some fresh air for a while to clear his head.
