Kastle Demolished

Casey Kastle’s tournament has been ended at the hands of Jose Rivas. On a board reading [Kd] [6d] [3h] [Jh], Rivas checks, Castle bets 5,525 only to see Rivas check-raise enough to put Kastle all-in for his last 9,500 chips. Kastle calls and shows [3c][3d] for bottom set but instantly stood up as Rivas showed [Jc][Jd].

Kastle was drawing to the case three on the river but it did not arrive, instead the [Ks] landed on the felt, improving Rivas to an unnecessary full house and Kastle was sent to the rail.

Thanks to adding Kastle’s stack to his own, Rivas now sits behind a massive stack of 91,000 and is right up amongst the chipleaders.
