Iraqi Nick - A Man in Form | 2008 PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final - Sydney

Nali "Iraqi Nick" Kaselias has enjoyed success in Australia this year after capturing the Main Event title at the PokerNews Cup in Melbourne in October for a cool quarter of a million dollars. Kaselias followed that up with a cash in the APPT Manila event and is looking for another strong showing here in Sydney; however his day hasn't started so well.

In a recent hand we caught Kaselias in a pot on a board of {K-Spades}

. His opponent in the big blind led out for 1,500 before Kaselias bumped it up to 4,500. His opponent then moved all in for 17,500 in total and Kaselias went into the tank.

"I think you have king-six," said Kaselias before giving it up. He was close, as his opponent flashed {2-Clubs}

for two pair.
