Big Pot Without Showdown for Castelluccio
Level 11
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Just before the end of the previous level, Sergio Castelluccio raised to 90,000 in the cutoff and Michal Mrakes three-bet on the button to 225,000. The small blind four-bet to 650,000 and Castelluccio asked to see the stack sizes of both opponents before electing to call. Mrakes asked for the stack of Castelluccio, which was around 3.8 million at the start of the hand, and folded.
The 
flop brought no betting action and Castelluccio bet 900,000 on the 
turn when the action checked to him. That was enough to shut down all further action and the Italian climbed up to five times the starting stack.
