Chronis Takes a Hit

[user92162]

Chris Chronis has taken a massive dent to his stack at the hands of Antonio Casale.

Chronis opened 25,000 preflop from under the gun and Casale made the call from the big blind. The flop came {j-Spades}

{j-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{q-Spades}

and Casale fired out 50,000. Chronis flat called, taking the hand to the turn {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

. Once again Casale led out 50,000 for Chronis to flat call. The river came the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and Chronis went into the tank before he flat called Casale's 100,000 chip bet.

Maybe he shouldn't have called. As Casale rolled over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{q-Hearts}

for the nut flush, Chronis let fly with a loud four letter expletive formerly banned from the World Series of Poker.

Chronis drops to 765,000. Casale moves up to 610,000.
