Castellano Thrilled by Double Up
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Tommaso Castellano shoved from under the gun for 69,000 and Ilia Cabaniuc called in middle position. The rest of the table folded and players revealed their cards.
Tommaso Castellano: J♠J♥ 
Ilia Cabaniuc: A♦Q♦
The sweatiest of flops ran out 9♦8♦2♠ before Castellano picked up a set of jacks on the J♣ turn. Cabaniuc still had a flush draw, but the 9♥ river improved Castellano to a full house to win the pot. He stood up and silently pumped his fists in the air in dramatic fashion as he avoided busting before the money.
