Hand #157 - Ray Sukkar

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Kaselias is first in, and he raises to 280,000. Kenneth Damm folds from the small blind, and it comes to Ray Sukkar. He sits still for a minute, fingering his chips and looking to be deep in thought. Finally, he slides his full stack forward, putting himself all in. Kaselias very calmly says, "I call," putting Sukker in danger of being knocked out.

Showdown:
Kaselias: {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Sukkar: {6-Clubs} {7-Spades}

The flop misses Sukkar but does add a few more outs as it comes down {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Instead of hitting his gutshot straight draw, he pulls the {7-Hearts} out of the deck, improving to the best hand. The river is the {J-Diamonds}, and Sukkar survives to double up.

Hand #155 - David Lee

Ray Sukkar has the button in Seat 9.

David Lee raises to 180,000 first in from the small blind. Kaselias cuts out a stack of chocolate chips (T25,000), appearing to posture for a raise, but electing instead to just flat call.

The flop reads {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {A-Hearts}. Lee continues out with a bet of 200,000, prompting Kaselias to drop his head and release his cards. Lee pulls in the pot, and flashes the {A-Clubs}.
