We found Kevin Saul and another player on a flop of . Saul bet 800 and his opponent put in a big raise to 8,000. Saul responded by tossing out a stack of orange T5,000 chips - enough to put his opponent all in. The unknown player called and said, "You got a jack?"
Saul nodded and turned over which had his opponent's pocket eights beat. The board finished and Saul's full house sent his opponent packing.
An player in early position opened for 800 and action folded all the way around to Kathy Liebert in the big blind. "I hope I give you something to write about," Liebert said to us as she made the call. It wasn't looking good when she checked the flop, but when her opponent continuation-bet 1,200 and Liebert popped it to 4,200, she had our attention.
"He doesn't want to play a pot against me because I'm too aggressive," Liebert explained. She must have been telling the truth as her opponent smiled and sent his cards to the muck. Liebert is up to 15,000.
A short two weeks ago Robert Castoire won the WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event. He outlasted a field of 313 players and collected his third WSOPC ring. Castoire beat a final table that had ESPN's Bernard Lee and WSOPC ringer Mark "Pegasus" Smith. At one point during heads up play he was down 11-1 in chips but managed a dramatic turnaround in about 20 minutes to capture the title.
Castoire prefers to fly under the radar at the table, sometimes even appearing to be sleeping due to his downward stare. But players should not be fooled, his chips do all the talking. After his victory he relayed a story of how in 2006, after winning a considerable sum at the WSOPC stop at Caeasr's, he got a very expensive, but invaluable, lesson from none other than Chip Reese.
We were wandering by WSOP-Circuit superstar Kyle Cartwright's table when we seen a player in middle position limp and Cartwright call from the small blind. The big blind then exercised his option in the big with a raise to 1,300, which both his opponents called.
Cartwright proceeded to check-fold the flop after the big blind bet 3,500 and the MP player called. "I only called because you were standing there," Cartwright explained to our reporter. "I usually run good with you." We can confirm that, usually, Cartwright is winning when we are reporting on him.
John Evans opened in early position for 775 and action folded around to Robert Gray in the small blind. Gray called and the flop came . Both players checked and the turn brought the . Gray check-called 1,250 from Evans and the river was the . Gray checked again and Evans checked behind.
Gray announced two pair and tabled . Evans was exasperated as he mucked his hand.
With about 5,000 in the pot and a board reading , a player in middle position bet 2,300 only to be raised to 6,000 by WSOP-Circuit Horseshoe Southern Indiana winner Robert Castoire. The MP player made the call, and then both players checked the river. Castoire rolled over , and it was good enough to take down the pot.
"That's how you win the rings," someone at the table commented as the dealer pushed the pot.
We're not sure of the action, but we do know that a player in the small blind was all in for his last 8,025 and up against Kathy Liebert on a flop.
Showdown
Liebert:
Small Blind:
Liebert had the vast majority of her chips in the pot, leaving herself just 1,025 behind, and she was in bad shape as her kicker was second best to her opponent's ace. Neither the turn nor river helped "Poker Kat", and she was left with an extreme short stack headed into the break.
