Kassouf Gets What He is Deserved
Joshua Beckenstein raised to 200,000 in the hijack with A♠K♥ and Will Kassouff three-bet to 700,000 in the small blind with 9♠9♦. Beckenstein counted out a four-bet to 1,600,000 and Kassouf called after the clock was asked for.
The flop came J♦5♦2♥ and Kassouf checked to Beckenstein who threw in a bet of 550,000. Kassouf spent nearly five minutes in the tank before finally calling. The K♠ peeled off on the turn and Kassouf checked again. After a few seconds, Kassouf tried to call the clock on Beckenstein but more time was given before Beckenstein announced a bet of 2,000,000.
The clock was called on Kassouf and he was given five seconds to act before his cards were deemed to be dead.
"Can you get Jack Effel over here, please?" Kassouf asked. The rail cheered and Kassouf was overly disturbed at the ruling despite wasting an egregious amount of time throughout the day.
