Casagrande Continues Late-Night Surge to Cross Seven Figures
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
raketrap limped in under the gun, prompting Abu Saeed to raise to 20,000 in the cutoff. Rifat Palevic then clicked it to 35,000 on the button, and Harry Casagrande four-bet to 134,000 in the big blind.
raketrap quickly folded, but Saeed and Palevic both called. The flop fell Q♦4♣10♠, on which Casagrande moved all in for 326,000. Saeed instantly rejammed, folding Palevic out of the pot.
Harry Casagrande: A♠A♥6♦2♠
Abu Saeed: K♥J♠K♦6♠
Saeed's outs did not arrive on the Q♠ turn or 2♥ river. The million-chip pot was shipped to Casagrande, who became the new tournament chip leader with an hour left to play on Day 1.
