Casey Kastle Eliminated in 3rd Place (AUD$10,880)

[user80015]

Level 15

Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo

Casey Kastle brought-in for 2,000 and Richard Ashby made the call before Bruno Portaro completed to 6,000. Kastle made it 12,000 as Ashby passed and Portaro capped it at 18,000.

On fourth street, Kastle found himself all in for his last 5,100 with Portaro making the call as both player's boards ran out as follows.

Kastle: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} / {6-Clubs} {8-Spades} {2-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} / (X)
Portaro: {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {7-Spades} {Q-Clubs} / (X)

On seventh, Portaro flipped his {J-Spades} to still be in the lead with his two-pair, but for Kastle, he still had plenty of outs to remain alive with any ace, queen, eight, six or deuce to scoop the pot, or any seven, five, four or three to see him retain half.

Unfortunately for the Slovenian, his seventh street was the {10-Hearts} , which saw him exit in the tournament in third place for a AUD$10,880 payday.
