Rehman Kassam Beats Aces to Survive

Rehman Kassam raises to 350,000 from the hijack and sees Alexandre Reard three-bet to 850,000 from the button.

Kassam thinks for 30 seconds before he moves all in for 3,000,000 and Reard snap-calls.

Kassam has run his pocket tens into aces and only has two immediate outs for survival. But much to the shock of the table, he hits one of them on the flop and takes a big lead.

Reard is unable to pull it back, and once the stacks have been counted, the Frenchman is left with just 700,000, with Kassam taking the overall chip lead.

Rehman Kassam – 7,200,00
Alexandre Reard – 700,000
