Castro Eliminates Vang

On blinds of 1,500/2,500/2,500, Harvey Castro three-bet to 18,000 from the cutoff. Paul Vang had opened to 6,000 from UTG+2.

Vang put in a four-bet to 59,000. Castro took his time before announcing all-in. Vang quickly called as the effective stack.

Castro: A♥A♣
Vang: Q♠Q♦  (all-in)
Board: K♣J♦8♣9♣A♦ 

It wasn't much of a sweat for the WPT Player of the Year, Harvey Castro. Vang turned a gutshot but the three clubs on board reduced two of Vang's outs. The A♦ on the river wasn't necessary and Vang was eliminated.

74 players remain in Flight 5. 20 players will advance to Sunday's Day Two Restart.
