Kastle Crippled

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Casey Kastle opened to 4,400 from middle position and Aaron Benton made the call before Jason Brown three-bet the button to 12,200. Kastle took his time before calling, as did Benton, to see a flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} spread.

Kastle and Benton both checked to see the Brown fire out 15,300 with only Kastle making the call as the {8-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Checking again, Kastle was then faced with a 48,100 all in bet from Brown, which after a lengthy deliberation, saw him make the call.

Kastle: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Brown: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

Fortunately for Brown, his top set managed to hold up as the river landed the {3-Diamonds} to see him soar to 150,000 as Kastle was left crippled with 7,300 in chips.

Benton Can't Beat Brown's Queens

Fourth street was the {3-Diamonds} and Benton slowed down with a check. Brown checked behind. The river was the {4-Spades} and Benton checked. Brown fired 12,000 and Benton made the call.

Benton mucked when Brown tabled the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for the winner and was knocked back to 73,000 in chips. Brown increased to 180,000.

Power Outage for Watt

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Simon Watt
Simon Watt

Simon Watt has ran out of electricity in this one after his pocket sevens fell victim to the wrong side of the coin when he flipped with an opponent's {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

An ace or a jack didn't hit, but rather the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} to give Watt's opponent a straight even though he spiked one of only two sevens left in the deck on the river.
