Kastle Building Without Showdown

Casey Kastle has just added close to 20,000 chips to his stack without having to go to showdown.

Domantas Klimciauskas opened the betting from under the gun with a raise to 5,100 and after the short-stacked Paolo Della Penna folded, Manuel Blaschke three-bet to 11,400.

The action folded round to Kastle and he pondered his options for around a minute before announcing his intention to raise. The dealer confirmed this and Kastle went back to riffling chips, figuring out how much to raise. He eventually decided the best course of action was to bet all of his 120,000 stack, which quickly folded out Klimciauskas but Blaschke contemplated a call.

However, once Kastle counted out his stack for him the Swiss national decided it was too expensive to call and ultimately folded.
