Kassouf Can't Find Action
William Kassouf had just finished telling the rest of the table about the man sitting to his left, 2020 Main Event Champion Damian Salas, when action was folded to him in middle position. He continued thinking out loud as he already had been.
"I have a hand. I'm gonna raise it's just how much. Do I rip it all or try to extract some value? I'll just test the water."
Kassouf opted to fire 13,000 into the middle, ending his action, but not his monologue.
"It's 93k for anyone wondering," he informed the table, spreading out his remaining chips. "Put 93,000 in and make my decision easy... I'm not saying I'll call it off but if you put 93k in I'll make a decision in... 1 second."
Much to Kassouf's dismay, Salas folded, as did the rest of the table as action made it all the way around to the big blind, the table chip leader, without yet a caller.
"C'mon chip leader, you can be my hero." The big blind was not his hero, as he made the laydown, giving Kassouf the pot, which consisted only of his own chips, the blinds, and ante.
"King high," Kassouf announced as he turned over a king, before continuing "it's always good to have backup in this game," before turning over a second king.
