Castro Spikes the River Against Stoma
Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Denis Stoma opened from the cutoff to 1,200,000 with Q♦10♦ and Raffaele Castro flatted with A♣10♥ in the big blind.
Castro checked the 7♠K♥J♣ flop, making the call after Stoma continued for 700,000. The 9♦ turn saw Castro check again and Stoma fired 2,000,000 into the middle with a straight. Castro used a time bank card and called.
Another time bank card was used before Castro led out for 5,000,000 after spiking the Q♣ river to make Broadway. Stoma then used a time bank before tossing in the call.
Castro slammed down his winning hand, leaving Stoma stunned and short-stacked once again.
