''What do you have? Tell me,'' insisted Kassouf. ''Pocket Sevens'' said his opponent. ''You're going to hero-call with pocket sevens? You have sevens of diamonds blocker?'' asked him Kassouf. ''Actually I do'' said his opponent ''Cooler!'' commented Kassouf.

His opponent proceeded to fold. ''He folded the blocker!'' Kassouf continued. ''You had a queen?'' asked his opponent. ''I had a queen yesterday.'' Kassouf answered

A flop reading {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} was dealt. ''Set over set..'' commented Kassouf before checking.

Head threw in a bet of 2,000.

''So lucky. Jack-deuce is good,'' Kassouf continued before folding his pair of fours face up.

His opponent showed ace-king, before raking in the pot. ''Cold Deck'' Kassouf repeated.
