Castro Not Havin' it

Barry Russell
Barry Russell
Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Raul Gallego raised to 1,300 from under the gun, Timothy Rutherford three-bet to 4,000 from middle position, and James Castro cold-called in the cutoff. Gallego then four-bet to 10,900, prompting Rutherford to fold, but Castro wasn't going anywhere and made the call.

Both players checked the K♦Q♠9♣ flop. Gallego fired out a bet of 6,000 on the 9♠ turn, and Castro snap-shoved for 33,000. Gallego snap-called.

James Castro: 3♥3♠ All in
Raul Gallego: K♣K♥

Castro was drawing dead, and the meaningless 2♦ river brought his Main Event run to an end.
