Pearson Puts Kassouf To The Test

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Richard Pearson opened to 4,000 from under the gun and only Will Kassouf made the call in the big blind.

The flop came A?9?7? and Kassouf check-called a bet of 2,500 from Pearson. On the 4? turn Kassouf checked again and Pearson sized to 6,000.

"I need a ten or a club," joked Kassouf before tossing in chips for the call.

The river fell the Q? and Kassouf checked a third time. Pearson announced all in, covering the stack of Kassouf, who quickly folded. The pot was sent to Pearson who rolled over 9?9? to show he flopped a set.

"Set of nines like a boss! What a life," laughed Kassouf as Pearson stacked his newly acquired chips.
