Castro Sees Diamonds
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Harvey Castro opened under the gun to 450,000, leaving himself just 20,000 behind. Nazar Buhaiov called from the cutoff, and everybody else made the fold. On a flop of 4♠3♦2♦ Castro checked, Buhaiov bet the minimum and Castro called all in.
Harvey Castro: A♦Q♦
Nazar Buhaiov: A♥K♥
It was as good as a flop could come for Castro given his opponent's holding, giving him scoop and chop outs. He wasted no time in getting there as the 7♦ turn secured his survival, with the 8♠ river resulting inconsequential.
