Back of the Net for Cascarino

"Wow, what did you have for dinner?" a member of the press asked former Irish international footballer Tony Cascarino.

"A few good hands," was all Cascarino would tell us. But across the table NAPT Venetian runner up Sam Stein kindly filled us in, in impressive detail.

There was a raise from a soon-to-be-busted player - 1,600 - to which Stein responded by reraising to 4,400, since he had pocket aces. Cascarino called on the button, the original raiser called too, and they saw a {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-} flop. Original Raiser checked and Stein bet 7,800. Both players called and they saw the turn.

The turn came down the {j-Clubs} and Original Raiser now bet out 14,000. Stein folded his aces, Cascarino moved in, Original Raiser called, and they revealed their cards.

Original Raiser: {q-}{j-} for top two pair
Cascarino: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the nut flush

Original Raiser failed to fill up on the river, and he was gone. Cascarino appears to be our chip leader now, on 167,000.
