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.
