Event 43 - Final Table - Germany Wins...Again
1 year ago
In an extremely brief battle, Martin Klaser dominated Casey Kastle and won fifteen of their twenty hands heads-up, Kastle had started off a 2:1 underdog but never looked like closing the gap on his young German opponent.

Eventually, Klaser's continual raising told and Kastle was down to a short stack. Kastle called a raise with J
T

and then pushed on the J

flop. Klaser beat him into the pot with A

and Kastle needed to catch a jack or runner runner to win. The turn was the Q
and it was all over, so much so that we couldn't even see the river as Klaser began dancing up and down.
Klaser picks up $216,249 having only been 21 for a few months while Casey Kastle wil get $137,985 as a second place consolation.

Event 43 - Final Table - Heads-Up
1 year ago
Michael Fetter has just been knocked out to leave us with just Klaser and Kastle's in a big battle of the surnames beginning with 'K'. Klaser was the one to eliminate Fetter meaning he'll be starting this heads-up with a 2:1 chip lead.

, the flop came beautiful for Klaser when it came 7

giving him trips and the nut low. Fetter though had the flush draw and still had hope. The T
appeared on the turn and Fetter gained an extra couple of outs, but the river was the Q
, housing up Klaser who jumped up and down and generally did a bit of screaming in excitement for getting heads-up.
