Castillo Bluffs With Blockers
Action was picked up on a board reading 3♦6♠A♦10♠ with 65,000 in the middle. Giuseppe Pantaleo checked his option in the small blind, before Jose Castillo made a pot-sized bet in the hijack, and Domenico Gala made the call in the cutoff. Pantaleo decided against seeing a river.
The dealer put out the J♦ on the river, and Castillo snap-potted it for an amount of 195,000, leaving himself just two 500-denomination chips behind. Gala went extremely deep into the tank. A minute passed, then another before he announced, "I need some time, guys." After another 60 seconds, he reluctantly mucked his cards.
Castillo picked up his own cards, took a look at them, then showed A♠K♦10♥7♣ for just two pair on a dynamic board. "Blockers" he said to the table.
