Big Early Pot for Casillas
Around 4,000 was in the middle on a board of Q♥7♠6♣, in a hand between Jose Casillas under the gun and Ondrej Groman on the button.
Casillas check-called a bet of 2,000 from Groman to see the 5♦ turn, where the same pattern followed, this in time in respect of a bet of 4,000.
The 9♥ river completed the board, and Casillas checked once more. Groman relatively quickly fired out a bet of 10,000, sending Casillas deep into thought.
After around two minutes, Groman took a peek at his cards, and that seemed to make up Casillas mind, who announced a check-raise to 30,000.
Groman sighed, and took about two minutes, before flicking in a calling chip. He was shown the bad news when Casillas tabled Q♠9♣ for the rivered two pair, beating Groman's A♠Q♦ for top pair queens.
