Valdez Leaves Castro Short Stacked

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With more than 60,000 already in the pot, David Valdez put out a bet for 18,000 on the river, from the button.

With the board showing {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, Jorgio Castro contemplated his next move from early position, as with 36,000 chips behind making the call and losing would leave him with just around 18,000 chips.

Castro went deep into the tank before finally making the call, and saw the bad news when Valdez tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped set.
