Castaignon Scoops Huge Pot from Andre

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Remi Castaignon

Cyril Andre raised to 120,000 preflop from early position and was called by Glen Cymbaluk and Remi Castaignon in the blinds. The flop was {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and it was checked to the raiser Andre, who bet 125,000.

Cymbaluk folded but Castaignon put in a small check-raise to 275,000 which Andre opted to call. If the latter thought this would slow Castaignon down, he would be mistaken, Castaignon came out firing to the tune of 500,000 - an amount worth almost half of Andre's remaining chips.

The high-stakes PLO specialist tanked for several minutes before making the call to see the {4-Spades} on the river. Now Castaignon thought for about 30 seconds before moving all. Andre's face fell slightly and he mucked leaving himself perilously close to elimination.
