Clee Silences Kassouf... Almost

Will Kassouf made it 40,000 from the hijack before Terence Clee three-bet to 70,000 out of the big blind.

Perplexed by the small three-bet, Kassouf retorically asked Clee: "Why so small, why would you raise so small when you know I'm calling?" In the end, Kassouf called.

Before the flop was dealt Clee announced a check in the dark. Kassouf, was now even more baffled by the dark check, opted to check behind on the 10♣6♠2♣ flop, not before saying "As I'm a gentleman, I'll check as well.”

Clee led out for 70,000 when the 8♥ appeared on the turn. Kassouf mulled it over for quite some time before folding, and asking Clee to show one card. Clee responded and said to Kassouf: "If you show both, I'll show both".

Kassouf flipped over K♠Q♣ for king-high, prompting Clee to say: "Good fold, good fold" and turn over 7♣3♠ for just a complete airball with seven-high.

The whole table erupted in laughter and applause at Clee's bluff, including Kassouf, who admitted he was impressed by the play and the tabletalk.
