Susta Raise-Folds Kings on the Bubble
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Petr Susta started the hand with a stack of around 15 big blinds, and opened to 15,000 from middle position. It folded to Paul van Alst in the big blind who three-bet all in for over 200,000.
Van Alst spoke with his opponent at length while Susta deliberated.
"At worst I have 40%," he said, "I want a fold but if you call then I suppose that's ok too."
After a while, Van Alst called the clock. No sooner had he done so, Susta open-mucked 
face-up on the table.
The whole table gasped and Philipp Zukernik damn-near fell out of his chair in shock.
"I had three outs," said Van Alst, "But I think you knew that."
Play remains two eliminations from the money.

Bakker Misses The Money
Level 17
