Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

Brandon Huff opened from early position and Will Kassouf three-bet from the big blind. Huff elected to flat.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Kassouf had bet 6,000 and Huff raised to 15,000 when PokerNews arrived at the scene. Kassouf said "Oh yes, PokerNews. Right on cue. About to witness the cooler of the century. The biggest cooler of the whole World Series."

Kassouf only had roughly 30,000 total and put it all in. Huff called.

Will Kassouf: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Brandon Huff: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Kassouf wouldn't improve as the board ran out {4-Clubs}{9-Spades} to give Huff the pot. Kassouf had just been brought food only seconds prior to the hand and would have to enjoy his snacks out in the hallway of Paris.
