Costa Shoves on Augustino; Kassouf Builds His "Tower of Marbles" and Prepares For the Long Haul
Will Kassouf showed up 10 minutes late for the day and got to work stacking up the big pile of chips in front of his seat.
"Tower of marbles. We're only halfway through the tournament. We just finished Day 5. It's a 10-day tournament. I don't know why people are going bat-shit crazy right now. There's a long way to go," Kassouf said.
Meanwhile, Ruben Costa had opened to 120,000 in early position and Anthony Augustino called in the big blind.
Costa continued for 80,000 on the Q♠Q♣2♦ flop and Augustino called. Costa then bet 120,000 on the J♥ turn and Augustino again called.
The river was the 9♥ and Costa moved all in for 765,000. Augustino took a minute before laying down his hand.
"Show the bluff. Good for the game," Kassouf said to Costa, but Costa returned his cards face down and took in the pot.
