Castejon Turns Rags Into Riches on His First Hand
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Juan Castejon had just taken his seat in the tournament when, on his first hand, he three-bet to 7,500 in the big blind. An opponent under the gun called, and they saw a flop of A♣3♠Q♦.
Castejon then bet 7,000 and his opponent called. The turn was the 6♠ and Castejon bet another 23,000. His opponent again called to the 9♠ river, where Castejon shoved for 12,400.
The under-the-gun player quickly called with A♦K♦, but Castejon had Q♣3♦ for two pair to win the pot and double up.
At another table, Filippo Ragone has built up a stack of around 150,000.
