Kaselias Survives Second Bubble Scare

Nali Kaselias' tournament life has been on the line twice since hand-for-hand play began, and he's survived both times. His most recent Road Runner-esque performance came in a three-way pot against Ray Sukkar and Bryan Huang.

Huang limped into the pot from late position, Sukkar completed the action from the small blind and Kaselias checked his option in the big.

All three players checked the {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} flop bringing us to the turn: {K-Hearts}. Sukkar led out with a 20,000 bet in the small blind and Kaselias moved all in over the top for a total of 40,600. Huang folded, but Sukkar looked him up, tabling {A-Spades} {6-Spades} for top pair. Kaselias then rolled over the {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} for a Broadway straight and had Sukkar drawing dead.

After the hand, Sukkar fell to about 230,000 in chips while Kaselias climbed up to 130,000.
