Kenneth Damm has the button in Seat 7.

Keeping the heat on, he comes in raising to 250,000. Nali Kaselias wastes little time calling.

The flop brings {6-Spades} {3-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. Kaselias checks, and Damm continues out with 300,000 chips. Kaselias thinks for just a minute before announcing, "All in." Damm quickly lays it down, and Kaselias flashes the {4-Spades}.

From the rail, one of Kaselias' supporters applauds and yells, "Runner-runner straight, baby! Iraqi style!"

Hand #182 - Kenneth Damm

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

He raises to 370,000. Damm confidently says, "Raise," but sits still for another few moments. He then makes it a total of 1,270,000. As Kaselias sits and ponders for several minutes, Damm alternately stares right into his eyes and down at the mound of chips in the middle of the table. Finally, he does opt to lay his hand down, and Damm strikes the first big blow of heads up play.

A Battle of Contrasts

Our heads up contest will see a fascinating contrast in backgrounds, with the Danish young gun Kenneth Damm up against the experience of local high-stakes cash player Nick Kaselias.

This is the biggest tournament result for both players as Damm looks to add to the trophy he collected earlier in the week in Event #5.

Damm will hold a slight chip lead as the heads up battle commences!

David Lee Eliminated in 3rd Place ($73,100 AUD)

David Lee - 3rd Place
Hand #180 -

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Kaselias peeks down at his hand and then announces that he will raise. He places in his call and then makes a raise to 420,000 total. David Lee moves all in from the big blind for 1,485,000 total. This sends Kaselias out of his chair. He sits back down and asks Lee "Do you have a good hand?" Lee doesn't flinch one tiny bit.

Kaselias pains over the decision and stays in the tank for another minute before emphatically making the call.

Showdown:
Lee: {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Kaselias: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

"What took so long?" yells on of Kaselias' railbirds.

The flop is {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and makes Lee's chances a little smaller. The turn is the {8-Clubs} and Lee is pushed even closer to elimination with one card to come.

Both players are standing up awaiting the final card. The dealer burns a card and then places the {2-Diamonds} on the felt. It's close, but not close enough for Lee. He is eliminated in third place, taking home $73,100 AUD for his finish.

Going into heads up play, Kaselias holds 3,255,000 chips, but is still behind Kenneth Damm with 4,960,000.
