Barone Sends Kasic to the Rail

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Sejo Kasic moved all in for his last 3,200 on the button and was looked up by Aaron Barone in the small blind.

Sejo Kasic: 9♥9♦ All in
Aaron Barone: K♠9♠

Kasic was in decent shape to double up and things remained that way on the 3♣7♣5♦ flop and 6♠ turn. The K♦ river, however, paired up Barone to send Kasic to the rail just after the dinner break.
