Kassouf Comes With The Correct Call... After 10 Minutes
This hand occurred just before the break.
Sacha Cohen raised from under the gun to 3,000 and in the small blind, Will Kassouf called.
The flop came out 8♣9♦2♥ and Kassouf checked over to Cohen while engaging in his usual banter. Cohen bet 3,000 and Kassouf called.
Kassouf checked on the turn 7♥ over to Cohen who sized up to 13,500 and Kassouf called.
On the river 5♥, Kassouf launched into a verbal spiel.
"Wow such a sick river, flush, straight, everything gets there," Kassouf said "not one we can just check down."
He thought for a little bit before electing to bet 29,500, sending Cohen into the tank.
"Could be bluffing with the best hand if you're thinking this long," Kassouf commented.
Cohen thought for a little bit longer before electing to go all in for 99,500, sending Kassouf into a tank of his own. He launched into a lengthy soliloquy of his own.
"Wow, it's so sick. You've got the nuts and I've got the second nuts. You thought I was bluffing but I was value betting."
Kassouf continued to talk, while trying to get a word from Cohen who remained motionless and silent throughout.
"You've got the ace of hearts, maybe ace-queen of hearts or something."
The table around him all went on break as he continued to talk. After about five minutes into the break and ten minutes after Kassouf initially went into the tank, Cohen called the clock on Kassouf.
"Did you call the clock because you want me to call?" asked Kassouf.
"No, I called the clock because I want a break," replied Cohen.
As the countdown continued as Kassouf began to stack up his chips.
"Well if you got it, you've got it," said Kassouf as he put in his last chips.
Will Kassouf: K♥8♥
Sacha Cohen: K♣J♥
Kassouf's second nut flush was good as he soared up the counts in the final hand before break.
