We saw a raising stack pushed forward in front of Jim Boyd's chip castle, and Mark Castaldo announce himself all in for his last 78,500.
Joseph Stiers had opened the action but he quickly got out of the way, and after a bit of deliberation Boyd decided to look Castaldo up.
"I'll gamble with ya..." said Boyd. "Let's go."
Boyd's enthusiasm was dampened significantly when he saw Castaldo's 
, and he announced "ahh, ya got me" while tabling his 
.
Needing an ace to catch up (along with a miraculous four-flush or straight), Boyd could only watch as the final board rolled out 
to send the pot in Castaldo's direction.
The bubble remained intact after Castaldo survived his brush with the brink, and eight-handed play continues with seven paydays waiting to be called.
