Kassouf Soars; Sabia Falls
Matthew Sabia raised to 5,500 from early position and Roland Rokita called in middle position with Will Kassouf on the button.
The flop rolled out A♣4♦3♦ and action checked around to Kassouf who bet 13,000 and Sabia responded with a raise to 26,000. Rokita folded and Kassouf went into his usual soliloquy, but he ultimately decided to call.
On the turn J♦ Sabia checked a second time.
"Oh you checked?" asked Kassouf, "This is weird. I wonder if you just have ace-queen of diamonds."
After taking some time and the clock getting called on him by one of his table mates, Kassouf bet 57,000. Sabia responded by moving all in for 114,000, sending Kassouf back into the tank.
"I guess if you got it you've got it," he said after thinking for a little bit longer, then put in the chips to put Sabia at risk.
Matthew Sabia: 4♥4♠ 
Will Kassouf: 8♦6♦
The river 10♥ kept Kassouf in the lead as he soared up the counts while Sabia exited the tournament.
