Castro Catches a Winner
Level 2
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was four ways to the flop, including 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson returning for a third straight Main Event flight.
The A♥10♣8♦ was checked around the table, with Simpson folding to a bet of 1,500 on the 9♥ turn. Another round of checks followed the 4♠ river, where Jesus Castro was first to show in the small blind.
Castro revealed 5♥4♥ for a rivered pair of fours. Both opponents mucked, as Castro smiled while raking in the chips.

: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson is playing the €888 Main Event for the third straight day, currently looking build a stack on his fifth bullet of the tournament.
"So far I'm on 40,000 on bullet number five from a 50,000 starting stack. I was on 25,000, so I feel rich!" Simpson told PokerNews during the break. "I did two bullets in the High Roller, all coming to tragic, tragic ends."
"This bullet feels like it's going better than all the other ones which is really, really sad now that I say it out loud, but we battle." Simpson is looking to find a bag tonight and earn a spot in Day 2 tomorrow.
