The day is 20% done and the players are taking a 15-minute break. A few new names joined the field, including Martin Jacobson, the current World Champion. Wouldn't you know it, he's been drawn next to Jorryt van Hoof, the man he who finished third at that final table. The pair shared a friendly embrace.

"All in and a call," a dealer shouted from the far end of the room.
We made our way over to discover that a raising war had broke out on the turn with the board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
. There was around 5,000 in the pot, but action exploded between Daniel Dvoress and Francisco Castro that resulted in the former getting his stack of 39,025 in the middle.
The exact details escaped us, but it appeared Castro bluffed at the pot after some action had occurred and Dvoress called off. Whatever the case, Castro went to muck after Dvoress tabled the ![]()
for a straight. Since it was an all-in situation, Castro was obliged to show, so the dealer revealed his ![]()
.
Castro was drawing dead and sent over about half his stack after the
was run out on the river.

Olivier Busquet raised to 500 from the cutoff only to have Francisco Castro three-bet to 1,850 from the button. Agshin Rasulov then four-bet to 4,100 from the big blind, Busquet folded, and Castro called to see a ![]()

flop.
Rasulov checked, Castro bet 2,500, and Rasulov check-raised to 7,500. Castro thought long and hard before three-bettting to 19,500, and that did the trick as Castro, who had amassed a big stack, released his hand.
