Castro Wins a Flip
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Elan Lepovic raised to 90,000 in middle position and Nate Castro three-bet shoved for 540,000 in the hijack to put himself at risk. Lepovic thought for a moment before making the call.
Nate Castro: 8♥8♠ 
Elan Lepovic: A♠J♥
There were no aces or jacks to be found on the 6♥2♠3♣K♣Q♠ runout and Castro's pair of eights held to earn him the double up.
