Will Kassouf recently took his seat beside Greg Merson at a table that was selected to go on stream after the next break.
While the players were filling out bio sheets, Gary Tomes limped in from the small blind before Kassouf raised to 65,000 in the big blind. Tomes called and the flop came 10♣A♣6♥.
Kassouf then bet 100,000 and Tomes called. The turn was the 6♣ and Tomes moved all in for 320,000.
"I was expecting you to check. I think you have top pair and a flush draw. If you have a flush, I have outs," Kassouf said.
"I don't think I can fold this. You really didn't want to be on the feature table with me and Greg? You're fine with the $30,000. Just take it and go to the bar with your mates?" Kassouf added as he took a few minutes.
"Okay, let's go," he eventually said, sliding forward the chips to call. Tomes showed A♦4♥ for two pair, but Kassouf turned over 7♣6♠ for trips. The river was the 8♣ and Tomes was sent to the rail.
"He really didn't want to be on the feature table. He's fine with the $30,000. He's a millionaire anyway. He'll let us play for the $10 million," Kassouf joked with Tomes, who still had a smile on his face and asked the dealer to allow him to snap a photo of the board before he headed off to the exit.
