Brian Hawkins raised to 3,800 from early position, and the big blind, Robert Aron, reraised to 11,200. Hawkins four-bet shoved for 44,300, enough to cover Aron. Robert called instantly with

After an opponent moved all in on him preflop for around 50,000 holding a rather meager 
, Castro made the call with pocket tens and spiked a set on the flop to take in the monstrous pot.
In all the commotion and stacking of chips, the next hand was dealt and another player moved all in. Castro looked down at 
and joked to the table about how he can't call with that hand, flashing the cards to the table, but not realizing that there was still players left to act in the hand.
A player at the table called the floor, and despite the incident being rather innocent, Castro was slapped with a one orbit penalty.
"I'll take a one orbit penalty if I can double up every time!" Castro said with a laugh. He's up to 160,000, so we don't think the missed blinds and antes will hurt too much.
