Casson Drills the River to Double Through Slater
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Michael Casson opened to 240,000 from early position and Nathan Slater three-bet the small blind to 810,000. With the action back on Casson, he ripped in his stack of almost 3,000,000 into the middle, and Slater snap-called.
Michael Casson: A♠K♣ 
Nathan Slater: Q♥Q♣
A classic coinflip to kick off the final table and it was advantage Slater after the 7♣9♥2♠ flop. The 3♠ turn left Casson one card away from elimination, but the A♣ on the river saved him from the rail and doubled him up.
