Casper Folds a Winner

We walked up to a flop of {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} to see Jeff Bond check to Joel Casper, a Circuit ring winner from 2008. Casper slipped out 1,200 chips, and Bond promptly check-raised to 4,200. Bond called, and both men checked the {3-Diamonds} turn. On the {10-Spades} river, Bond announced a covering all-in shove, putting Casper in a tough spot.

"That turn may have saved my ass," Casper admitted. Apparently there's some history between the two men. "I'm going to show you another tight fold. You're not even going to believe this one." With that, Casper open-mucked his {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. "If you had pocket aces or pocket queens, that's just a terrible turn card for you," he finished.

The turn was just fine with Bond; he exposed his {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} as the dealer pushed him the pot. It pays to be aggressive, and Bond's big bet earned him the pot and knocked Casper down under 15,000.
