"Worse Hand" Does the Trick For Castaldo
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mark Castaldo was in the big blind and put in a reraise to 7,500 before an opponent in the hijack moved all in for 15,000. "I'll call with the worse hand," Castaldo said as he committed the chips.
All-in player: 9♠9♦
Mark Castaldo: K♦Q♥
The flop came K♥5♦7♦ to give Castaldo the lead with top pair, while the rest of the board ran out 3♥10♠ and the hijack was sent to the rail.
