CPPT Event #1 (Flight 1D): Kastler Running Pure, Sends the Flight 1D Field Into The Money

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/5,000)
Total Flight 1D Entries: 132
Flight 1D Players Remaining: 17

The Flight 1D hand-for-hand process only lasted five minutes, as Christopher Kastler knocked out Adam Arbuckle on the bubble.  Kastler opened to 11,000 from the hijack (he had over 200,000 behind), with Arbuckle three-betting to 30,000 on the button (with just over 110,000 behind).  Stephen Krackomberger gave a lot of thought to his hand (big blind), but ended up released, which was followed by a four-bet shove from Kastler.  Arbuckle made the call, and the hands would be tabled:

Arbuckle: A♠ K
Kastler: K J♠

Runout: 9♠ 3♣ 2 J 10

Things looked pretty sweet for Arbuckle after the flop, but Kastler spiked a jack on the turn, giving him a commanding lead...which would not be relinquished.  There were no players eliminated on the same hand from Table 2, making Arbuckle the Flight 1D bubble.  Everyone remaining is guaranteed at least $500, with the final (7) players bagging chips for Day 2.

Official results will be posted as they're reached, with official chip counts from Flight 1D to follow (after the bagging process is completed).
