Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Yifu He opened to 2,200 on the button and Will Kassouf defended his big blind.

Kassouf checked on the 2♦6♦J♦ flop and He continued for 1,500.

Never shy about engaging in banter, Kassouf's verbal assault began.

"You always bet. Bet flop, bet turn, bet river, no?" Kassouf began.

"If you've got it, you've got it," Kassouf then put in a raise to 5,300.

"No shame in folding. I'll show if you show," Kassouf continued as He contemplated his decision. He eventually called.

The 9♠ fell on the turn.

"I think I've got the best hand... I've gotta bet to find out," Kassouf said before putting 10,000 into the middle.

He let his hand go and Kassouf tuned over 9♥7♥.

"Nine high like a boss!" Kassouf shouted (in reference to his flop raise) as he collected the pot.

Tommy Kemter, who was in the small blind, stared at Clement Meunier on the button for a good minute and a half, contemplating whether to make an all-in call.

Meunier had a pot-sized bet of 50,000 chips on the river of a runout that read A♠J♥3♠9♦2♣.
