Bad Time Bluff for Kastle

All three players saw the flop of {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} and checked round to see the turn of the {Q-Diamonds}. It was checked to Casey Kastle, who made it 20,000 with only Neil Arce making the call.

The river landed the {6-Clubs} and Arce checked to Kastle, who fired out 100,000 into Arce. Arce sat back in his chair for a little before announcing, "Call," only to see Kastle muck.

Arce showed a queen as he raked in the pot sending him to over 750,000 in chips.

Kastle Crumbling

Kastle starting to crumble

Slowly but surely, Neil Arce and Steve Yea are eroding the walls of Casey Kastle's chip fortress. Arce and Kastle took a limped flop of {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Arce checked to Kastle, who casually tossed 20,000 into the pot. Arce called.

The betting action was exactly the same on the {j-Diamonds} turn. When the river fell {10-Clubs}, however, and didn't fill any obvious draws, Arce led out for 40,000. Kastle debated for about 30 seconds before matching Arce's bet. Each player turned over a jack, but Arce's {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} was the better kicker. He took down the pot.

Yea Finds Gold in the Gutter

Casey Kastle completed from the small blind and Steve Yea checked his option before firing out 24,000 on a flop of {3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Kastle called before again checking to Yea when the {4-Spades} fell on the turn.

Yea then led strongly again for 62,000 with Kastle making the call. When the river landed the {10-Clubs} Kastle checked and Yea made it 85,000 to go with Kastle quickly calling.

Yea tabled {2-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a straight and Kastle mucked while slipping to 500,000 as Yea surges to the 1.5 million chip mark.

Kastle Takes Second in a Row

Steve Yea was the preflop aggressor this time, raising to 30,000. Casey Kastle called from the big blind to see a flop of {5-Spades} {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. Kastle checked to Yea, who fired out 45,000 chips. Kastle called.

Both players checked down the rest of the way, with the turn coming {J-Hearts} and the river falling {10-Spades}. Kastle showed {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} for a pair of aces and the winner.

Quick Break

Tournament Director Matt Savage has sent the three remaining players on a quick five-minute break so he can conduct a color-up.

Yea Chips Up Some More

The action was limped preflop between small blind Casey Kastle and big blind Steve Yea. Both players checked the flop of {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {J-Clubs}. When the {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn, Kastle took a stab at the pot with a bet of 20,000. Yea quickly raised to 50,000. Kastle smirked and folded.
