Kassouf Ascends the Tallest Mountain Peak, Mt. Everest
In the thrilling world of high-stakes poker, it was Will Kassouf who took the first bold step, risking it all with a whopping 1,550,000 chips. His opponent, Getnet Kassa, was up for the challenge.
The cards were dealt, and the scene was set: Will Kassouf held 9♣7♣, while Getnet Kassa had the stronger K♥8♠. Little did they know, this simple sequence of cards would lead to an electrifying ride.
Fate brought the 9♦10♥9♥4♣K♠ runout, and lo and behold, Will Kassouf hit a triple on nines, doubling hisstack and sending shockwaves through the poker realm.
The chips were now heavily stacked in Getnet Kassa's favor, with his stack reaching a mighty 21,100,000, while Will Kassouf was left scraping by with a mere 3,600,000.
However, the story doesn't end here. In a different setting, it was Getnet Kassa who was Kassouf's conqueror in the 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Main Event, pocketing an impressive £38,408. The decisive blow came when Kassouf's K♣4♦ met its match with Kassa's 8♣8♦ on the board runout of 2♥J♦10♥5♣3♦[1][3]. Yet, it seems there's no record of a specific hand involving Kassouf hitting trips against Kassa. Poker is a game of unpredictability and that's exactly what makes it so intriguing.
Getnet Kassa's victory over Will Kassouf in the 2025 PartyPoker Tour London Main Event doubled his winnings, reaching £76,816 in total, as Will Kassouf's 600,000 chips ran out in that high-stakes sports event. In a different instance, it's uncertain if Will Kassouf ever got net trips against Getnet Kassa, unlike the time he managed to double his stack with a triple on nines during their earlier poker encounter.
