''You Got It, You Got it''

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

The player under the gun opened to 300. Action folded to William Kassouf, in middle position, who raised to 800. Robert Georato, in the big blind, and the original raiser called.

A flop of {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Spades} was dealt. Georato and the original raiser checked. Kassouf bet 2,000. Georato raised to 4,000. The original raiser folded. Kassouf called.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts}. Georato checked. ''Oh now you slow down huh? You're gonna min-raise? You missed a flush draw?'' Kassouf asked. ''Ok, we won't make it too much, but we won't make it too small cause he might min-raise me,'' the British added.

A couple of seconds of silence later, Kassouf started again: ''Tell me what you got. Be honest. I got a straight. We can get it all in for the blog. In the words of Will Kassouf: you got it, you got it'' he added, before shoving for 14,500. His opponent quickly called.

''Set'' said Georato turning over {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Kassouf showed {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The {a-Diamonds} river completed the board and the talkative British headed to the exit commenting ''Cooler!''
