Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, William Kassouf checked out of the big blind and called a bet of 4,000 by David Olson in early position. On the {Q-Spades} turn, Kassouf checked once more and Olson bet 15,000. Kassouf, who had 26,400 behind, started his usual table talk and put his opponent on ace-king with the {A-Spades}.

"I am not going to fold or call," Kassouf mentioned and then added "this could be the one." He then moved all in and Olson called it off instantly, rolling over {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Kassouf had turned a flush with the {10-Spades}{2-Spades} and his request for a brick on the river was granted with the blank {9-Clubs} to let the Brit double.
