Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mark Kassis opened with a raise to 18,000 on the button and when the action was placed on Clark Hamagami in the big blind he moved all in. Kassis sat in the tank for over two minutes before making the call and seeing that he was in bad shape up against Hamagami {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

with his

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

.

With Kassis' railbirds chanting for a ten, their wish would be granted when the flop fell {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

. Needing to avoid a jack to stay alive in the tournament Kassis would be relieved to see the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

and

{4-Hearts}

land on the turn and river doubling Kassis up to 225,000 as Hamagami slipped to 270,000 in chips.
