Kassouf Runs Out of Time, Best Hand Goes In the Muck
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Joshua Beckenstein raised to 250,000 in early position with Q♣9♣ and was called by Will Kassouf in the hijack with K♠J♥ and Kohei Arai in the big blind with 9♥6♥. The flop came A♠10♦5♠ and Beckenstein continued with a bet of 300,000. Kassouf called and Arai got out of the way.
The turn brought the Q♥ and Beckenstein check-called a bet of 650,000 from Kassouf who had the checkmark beside his name already. The river was the 5♦ and Beckenstein announced all in as the bigger stack. Kassouf was put to the test for his tournament life with ten seconds to act and his time ran out, putting the best hand in the muck.
