Van Blarcum Ain't Buying What Kassouf is Selling

Will Kassouf raised to 2,900 from middle position and called a three-bet of 8,300 from Aaron Van Blarcum, who was in the hijack.

Both players checked on the 8♣Q♦J♦ flop and then Kassouf led out for 9,700 on the 9♥ turn.

"Save your chips, I've got the best hand," Kassouf said as Van Blarcum contemplated his decision.

"What to do, what to do..." Van Blarcum said before tossing in a call.

The 7♥ completed the board and Kassouf sized up for a bet of 20,000.

"Just in case, I just call," Van Blacrum said as he tossed in calling chips.

"One pair, you're good," Kassouf said, prompting Van Blarcum to table 10♥10♣ for a straight.

"I was repping your hand!" Kassouf said.

"I was deciding if I should raise or not," Van Blacrum replied. "That's why I was tanking."
