De Hond Hounded Out
Hans de Hond bet out 2,000 on an :::8c :::As :::Qs flop and Casey Kastle flat-called to see a turn – the :::5h. De Hond checked this time, but Kastle now bet 8,100 into the 6,500 pot – enough to set de Hond in. After a few moments and then a sigh, de Hond called all in, and moments later he was gone.
De Hond: :::Ks :::Qc
Kastle: :::Ah :::2h
River: :::4s
Earlier in the day we established that Kastle has cashed in more countries than any other poker player – 30 different countries, with his nearest rival (Marcel Luske) on a mere 22 countries. I told Kastle this, and in response he first sighed and then told me that he, “Would trade it all in for one big win.” Could this, just maybe, be the one? Kastle is on 48,000.
