Howard Foster (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

Passing by Table 6, a hand was unfolding between Howard Foster (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), Michael Weinberg, and Darel Casuasqui.  On the flop of K♣ 3♥ J♥, Foster checked, followed by Weinberg betting out 3,500.  Both Foster and Casuasqui called, and the three players would watch as the board paired with the K♦ on the turn.

This time it would be Foster and Weinberg checking to Casuasqui, who would place forward a bet of 6,200.  Foster quickly pushed forward his stack of remaining chips (18,700), with Weinberg folding behind.  The decision was back on the field chip leader, who would take some time before acting, seemingly knowing he was behind.  Casuasqui tossed in the chips for a call, and the hands would be tabled.

Foster held a slight lead, holding K♥ 10♣, against the K♠ 4♠ of Casuasqui.  Darel needed to hit a four on the river to win the pot, and in order to chop, a card higher than 10 (or the board to pair a second time).  The river brought the 9♣, and Foster would earn the double, chipping up to 50,000.  Casuasqui took a small hit to his chip stack, and now sits with just over 70,000.
