Dukic Shoves on Aslan
Kemal Aslan three-bet to 39,000 in the cutoff and Nenad Dukic called in early position.
The flop came J♥8♦8♥ and Aslan continued for 23,000. Dukic then raised to 50,000 and Aslan called.
The turn was the 10♣ and Dukic moved all in, having Aslan's remaining 120,000 covered. Aslan spent several minutes in the tank, at one point taking out a $5 bill and examining it as he continued to ponder the decision.
He eventually folded and Dukic took the pot. "Big fold?" Dukic asked him.
"What did you have?" Aslan asked.
"You first," Dukic replied, and Aslan said he had ace-king. Dukic responded he had eight-seven for trips.
While this hand was taking place, Bojan Berberovic earned him a massive double up off Mikalai Vaskaboinikau at another table when he hit a set of threes, taking the tournament chip lead with nearly 800,000.
