POST-DINNER ACTION

Championship Event

Gene Castro came back from the dinner break and went on a run that saw him go from the above chip average around 50,000 to out of the tournament in less than 45 minutes. Just 4 hands saw his stack get decimated.

-It started off slowly when he re-raised an aggro-player from the big blind with tens. He laid the hand down on the jack high flop and a big bet.
-He then picked up AK in late position and called the "crazy player's" pre-flop raise. It flopped A 7 7 and he called that player's all-in move. Crazy raiser had him beat with the mighty 74o.
-Third hand he picked up JJ and was beaten by the flopped set of ducks on the 2 5 9 flop.
-The final nail in the coffin was running his shortstacked QQ into KK.

Castro heads to the rail after an unfortunate post-dinner run.
