Kastle Hanging Steady

[user75032]

Casey Kastle is not a flashy player. He doesn't need to be -- he is one of the steadiest, most patient poker players you'll see on the tour. He's hanging around 19,000 chips after the first two levels. He recently limped into a pot from under the gun and took a five-way flop of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

. All players checked.

When action passed to Kastle on the turn {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

, he bet 500 and was called only by the small blind. The river fell {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

. Both players checked, with Kastle's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

dragging the pot.
