Romeo Doubles Through Castaignon
Level 31
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
It folded to Remi Castaignon on the button who raised to 250,000, and both Robert Romeo (small blind) and Walid Bou Habib (big blind) called.
All three checked the 
flop, then when the 
fell on the turn Romeo pushed out four blue plaques for a bet of 400,000. Bou Habib folded quickly, then Castaignon pushed out enough red chips to call.
The river brought the 
and an all-in push from Romeo, which after a short pause Castaignon called.
Romeo quickly tabled his 
for kings and deuces, and Castaignon was made to show his hand as well — 
for the same hand with a lesser kicker. With that double-up Romeo now has more than 30 big blinds.
