Castaldo Whiffs Royal Flush Draw

Michael Castaldo was all in preflop for his last 155,000 and called by Giuseppe Pastura.

Showdown
Castaldo: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Pastura: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

No surprise it was another flip, but the {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} was fairly surprising as it hit both players. Pastura had spiked a set and was still out in front, but Castaldo had picked up a royal flush draw. The {9-Clubs} turn was one pip off from giving Pastura quads, but he wouldn't need it as the {8-Spades} fell harmlessly on the river.

Castaldo missed his bevy of outs and was eliminated from the Main Event; meanwhile, Pastura is up to 990,000.
