CPPT Event #1 (Day 2): Kenneth Barkoff Eliminated In 13th Place ($2,905) By Chad Kastel

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 23 (Blinds 15,000/25,000/25,000)
Total Event #1 Entries: 759
Event #1 Players Remaining: 12


Kenneth Barkoff (Dix Hills, NY) hit his ace on the flop, but it was almost meaningless, considering his opponent flopped middle set.

With just over twenty big blinds, Chad Kastel would shove for 570,000 from under-the-gun, with Kenneth Barkoff next to act.  After peering down at his cards, Kenneth announced he was all-in as well (for less), with players folding behind.  "You have me out chipped...good luck," Barkoff would say to Kastel, as the hands found their backs:

Barkoff: A♣ K♣
Kastel: 10♠ 10

Runout: A♠ 10 2♠ 6 Q♣

Kastel spiked a set on the flop to take an almost insurmountable lead, which would not be relinquished through the runout.

Chad Kastel - 1,000,000
Kenneth Barkoff - 13th Place ($2,905)
