Hand #128: Matt Casterella Doubles Through Vadim Trincher

Casterella raises from the small blind to 125,000, and Trincher (big blind) asks for a count of his stack. (It’s about 1.25 million total.) Trincher thinks for about a minute before raising to 275,000, and Casterella quickly moves all in. Trincher calls with [10c10s], and Casterella shows [AsKc]. Casterella needs to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes [KdJh9s], and Casterella’s friends cheer as he takes the lead with a pair of kings. Trincher flops a gutshot straight draw, and also has outs to a set.

The turn is the [6d], the river is the [3s], and Matt Casterella wins the pot with a pair of kings to double up.
