Castro Doubles Into the Lead
Level 41
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Aliaksei Boika raised to 32,000 on the button and Harvey Castro defended from the big blind. The flop came 9♠7♠3♣ and Castro check-called a bet of 45,000 from Boika.
The turn brought the 10♦ and Castro check-called another bet of 125,000 from Boika. The 10♥ paired the board on the river and Castro checked for the third time. Boika announced all in as the bigger stack but Castro still asked for a count and then used a time bank before calling.
Boika whipped over Q♠Q♣ thinking that he won the hand and the match, but Castro turned over K♥10♠ for trip tens and doubled into the lead.
