Kassam Runs Into a Bigger Ace

Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Soon after the final five tables were formed and the pay jump was secured, the next all-in showdown unfolded.
It was Rehman Kassam who got it in for around 930,000 preflop only to find himself dominated by Kasparas Klezys.
Rehman Kassam: A?Q?
Kasparas Klezys: A?K?
The A?K?8? flop left the Brit on the ropes and the 7? turn sealed his fate, making the 2? river a formality.
Just prior, Christian Rudolph had raised to 85,000 and then folded when Anson Tsang three-bet to 415,000 with 10,000 behind in the big blind.
