Kassouf Gets a New Nickname
Will Kassouf and Chih Fan had gone to the river with the board showing 4♣8♥K♦5♦3♦. Kassouf then bet 100,000 from the big blind and Fan raised to 450,000 in early position.
Kassouf took a minute before Sam Jakubowicz called the clock, a decision that Kassouf vehemently disagreed with. "He called the clock after one minute. If if was five minutes, fine," Kassouf protested.
"You can't cry wolf," tablemate Steven Snyder added.
"Did you hear his new nickname? He's Will 'the Human Rain Delay' Kassouf," Anthony Ruberto said.
Kassouf continued to argue that he hadn't been given enough time. "I have a decision here. You can look at my hand," he said to the tournament official who arrived at the table to begin his 30-second countdown.
"It's nuts or nothing," Kassouf eventually said as he flashed the K♠ and mucked. The floor then alerted Kassouf that his timer would be shortened if he continues to stall.
