Hollywood in Melbourne
Casey Kastle back-doored into a flush in a three-bet pot but it wasn't enough to see a big pot head to his neighbour.
Kastle opened to 775 from under the gun and was called in the next seat before Simon Deadman squeezed to 2,700 from one more seat along. Both players called and the board ran out as no player fancied a bet.
On the river, Kastle led for 7,000 before his neighbour went into an act worthy of a oscar. He tried everything to look like he hated the scenario before moving all-in for 16,000. Deadman couldn't help but laugh as he released his hand. Kastle was dead serious though and made the call with losing out to his opponent's .
The winner asked Deadman if he would've called if he just called the 7,000 and Deadman said no and admitted he had pocket aces for turned top set.
