Diana Shamshoum Eliminated by Jason Kastner; Kastner Doubles on the Side

Aug 23, 2016

On a board reading Diamond 10Diamond 8Diamond 3, with about 10,000 in the pot, Diana Shamshoum is waiting to find out her fate as she was all in before the flop.

Jason Kastner is in the small blind, and checks to his opponent in middle position, who moves all in. Kastner goes into the tank for about two full minutes before deciding to call for his remaining 14,275 in chips.

Kastner shows Club 9Diamond 9 for a pair of nines, while his opponent tables Spade 9Heart 8. Shamshoum reveals Heart 6Spade 4 and is going to need some running cards to stay alive.

The turn is the Heart 10, and the river is the Diamond 5. Kastner was already ahead, but he makes his flush and scoops the entire pot, sending Shamshoum to the rail.

Jason Kastner – 40,000 (100 bb)
