Casagrande Eliminates Atac
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Harald Casagrande raised to 1,600 in middle position and Salih Atac three-bet to 5,600 from the hijack. Lars Brodin cold-called on the button before Casagrande potted it to 23,200. Both Atac and Brodin called.
On the 6♦J♠2♣ flop Casagrande bet pot and only Atac called. Atac only had roughly 53,000 chips in his stack so he was the player at risk.
Salih Atac: A♥Q♣10♣2♥ 
Harald Casagrande: A♣A♦K♥J♦
Casagrande was ahead with his aces but Atac had a lot of outs he could hit to double. The 7♣ turn gave Atac a flush draw, but the K♦ on the river improved Casagrande to two pair, and Atac was headed for the rebuy desk.
