Kassouf Pips Nelson
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Vanessa Kade opened to 8,000 from early position and Will Kassouf three-bet to 26,000 from middle position. Michael Nelson four-bet to 57,500 from the hijack and Kade folded J♠9♠. Kassouf five-bet shoved, covering Nelson who had 127,000 behind and Nelson called, putting himself at risk.
Michael Nelson: A♦Q♦ 
Will Kassouf: A♠K♠
Nelson was dominated with a smaller ace and he failed to improve on the 9♣4♠9♥J♣6♦ runout, resulting in his elimination while Kassouf more than recouped the chips he had recently lost.
