Kassouf Spikes an Ace to Double

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After a raise and a three-bet to 9,000 by William Kassouf on the cutoff, initial raiser Erhart Edquist moved all in from the hijack and the camera crews rushed by to see if a showdown would take place. Eventually, Kassouf called it off for his last 42,100 and the cards were turned over.

William Kassouf: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Erhart Edquist: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

"Any aces about?" Kassouf asked and received one right on the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop. The {4-Hearts} turn and {2-Spades} river were blanks and the talkative Brit doubled.

"The haters won't like it, they hope I bust. But now I get more TV time," Kassouf added while stacking the chips.
