Kassouf Picks Up Aces Right After Showing a Bluff
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
David Swift opened 8♦7♦ to 105,000 from the cutoff and Will Kassouf three-bet to 315,000 from the button with 9♠6♣.
They saw a flop of J♣K♠9♥, where Swift checked and Kassouf bet 500,000. Swift took some time but eventually folded his hand. Kassouf showed the bluff, and added his famous quote.
In the very next hand, Carmino Argiero opened from middle position to 155,000 and Kassouf three-bet the cutoff to 480,000. Argiero then shoved for around 1,000,000, and Kassouf snap-called.
Carmino Argiero: A♣Q♥
Will Kassouf: A♥A♦
Kassouf had found the bullets right after showing a bluff, and was a huge favorite to eliminate Argiero.
A flop of K♠9♦J♣ did give Argiero a gutshot, but he couldn't find it on the 2♣5♠ runout, which ended his Main Event.
