Kassouf Rivers Trips Against Nguyen
Will Kassouf picked up K♥K♦ in early position and Matija Kajtez called in the big blind with A♥8♠.
The flop came 4♥2♥K♣ and Kajtez checked it over to Kassouf, who bet 100,000. Kajtez dropped in the call to see the 9♦ on the turn and checked it over to Kassouf, who took some time before he bet 300,000. Kajtez quickly folded, and Kassouf flashed one of his kings to the table.
Shortly after, Kassouf was involved again when he raised to 110,000 with 7♣6♣ from under the gun and Vinh Nguyen three-bet K♥Q♣ a few seats over. When it got back to Kassouf, he called.
Both caught a piece on the 4♣6♠K♦ flop and checked it to the river on the J♦6♦ runout, which gave Kassouf trips. Kassouf bet 260,000 and Nguyen quickly called, then mucked once he saw the bad news.
