Castro Sets Sail
Stuart McDonald raised to 17,000 from early position and was called by Andres Castro in middle position. The rest of the field cleared out of the way and it was heads up to the 
flop. McDonald put out a standard continuation-bet of 18,000, and Castro took about a minute before moving all in for 61,000.
It was only 43,000 back to McDonald, and he certainly had the chips to play; nonetheless, the raise seemed to concern him. "I don't know what you could have. 
?" McDonald continued to think about the possibilities as the minutes ticked down on the clock. Finally, someone at the table called, "Tiempo," for a clock.
With about six second remaining on the countdown, McDonald made the call and flipped over 
. Castro sheepishly turned over 
and was looking for some help. The 
turn did more harm than good for Castro, while the 
river was the final nail in his coffin.
McDonald is now up to 440,000.
