Castro Makes a Straight

In many games that title would mean the player would've won the pot, but not today. Richard Castro is down to just 12,400 chips after just losing an important pot for his stack.

Castro raised to 4,000 from the cutoff after which Cantu made it 15,000 to go from the button. Both blinds folded and Castro tanked for a bit before making the call.

Castro drew one card, Cantu stood pat.

After receiving his card Castro decided to check and Cantu followed his action quickly.

"Straight," Castro said sounding disappointing as he showed his {7-}{6-}{5-}{4}{3-}. Cantu turned over {J-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-} and raked in another pot.
