Lucky Turn Sends a Pot to Castillo

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The flop was [10c7h5] and Ivan Hallal Castillo was faced with a check-shove of around 9,500 by Jason Hicks. Castillo called and was in rough shape when they turned over their hands.

Jason Hicks: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Ivan Hallal Castillo: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}

A dominating hand turned into a major dog once the {7-Diamonds} rolled out. Hicks was behind but picked up some diamond outs that could save him.

The {j-Clubs} river was of no help to Hicks who was sent to the sidelines after an unfortunate turn card, shipping all the chips to Castillo.

Alexander Allegranza: {q-Spades}{6-Clubs}
