Kassouf Scoops Four-Bet Pot for Chip Lead
The action was caught on the flop, but Will Kassouf was kind enough to tell PokerNews how the preflop action went down.
Apparently, Marco Leonzio raised to 6,000 without looking at his cards, as he had been doing, and Kassouf made it 21,000 to go. Leonzio responded with a four-bet to 42,000 and Kassouf made the call.
The flop was spread as 5♥A♥K♥ and Leonzio shipped in his above-average 120,000 stack in the middle. Kassouf commentated on the alcohol consumption of his opponent before ''giving him a spin'' and making the call with the covering stack.
Marco Leonzio: 8♥4♠
Will Kassouf: A♠5♠
Kassouf needed to fade hearts to scoop the huge pot. He begged the dealer for black cards and the universe must have been listening as the 7♠ and 4♣ completed the board.
Leonzio left the tournament area while Kassouf stacked all of his newly acquired chips. He is now playing near ten starting stacks and is far and above the rest of the field.
