Slater Scores Double Elimination to Vault to 100K
David Caffrey moved all in from early position for 9,325 and received a call from Tim Slater, who was sitting on a big stack in the hijack. When action reached Felipe Feliciano in the small blind, he moved all in for 23,525 and Slater snap-called.
Slater: 
Feliciano: 
Caffrey: 
"Hold," Slater requested. According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, he had a 54.43% chance of doing just that while his opponents had a combined chance of 45.33%. The 
flop increased Slater to 77.52%, but then the 
spiked on the turn. That left Caffrey drawing to eight for a straight while Slater could only win with a king on the river, which would happen just 4.76% of the time.
Slater was disgusted and began to moan about the bad beat, but then the dealer burned and put out the 
. The table, except for Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, reacted in disbelief as Slater rivered a bigger set to take down the pot and score the double elimination.
