Castello Eliminates Opponent

After looking down {A-?}{A-?} and seeing a raise before her to 275, PokerNews TV host Melissa Castello bumped the action to 625 with the original raiser making the call.

The flop fell down King-high and with the action checked to Castello she fired a 900-chip bet, only to be raised to 1,800. Castello pushed all in and her opponent called for her tournament life.

Castello would see her hand hold up against her opponent's {A-?}{K-?} and see her soar to 6,250 in chips.
