Rodriguez Puts a Cruel Cooler on Castelle

David Salituro

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jose Rodriguez and Max Castelle were heads-up on a completed board of 9?9?Q?10?A? when Rodriguez bet 30,000 from early position.

Castelle then raised to 60,000 in the big blind and Rodriguez moved all in. Castelle snap-called and turned over Q?9? for a flopped full house.

Rodriguez, though, had A?9? for a rivered full house to win the massive pot. Castelle flung his arms in the air in frustration as the stacks were counted down. Rodriguez had around 150,000 remaining and barely had Castelle covered, sending him to the rail on the brutal cooler.
