On the next hand, Casetta raised his button, making it 60,000 to go. Lichtenberger reraised to 165,000. Casetta moved all in and then Lichtenberger snapped.

"I learned this move from Joe Cada," commented Casetta.

Lichtenberger held the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Casetta the {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Lichtenberger earned the double up.

Chewy Still Fighting

Andrew Lichtenberger is a long way from where he was at the start of this heads-up match but he's clearly still fighting. He re-raised pre-flop to 150,000 after Dan Casetta opened to 60,000. Casetta leaned forward in his chair after the re-raise. After twenty seconds he called.

Lichtenberger made a small bet of 120,000 into the 300,000-chip pot on an ace-high flop, {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} {9-Spades}. Casetta folded.
