Rodriguez Back Doors Into a Straight
Right before the break Robert Auer opened to 400 from the cutoff. Javier Rodriguez on the button made the call and Sergio Castelluccio squeezed to 1,500 from the big blind. Auer folded but Rodriguez made the call.
Castelluccio grabbed the initiative before the flop, but took a passive approach post. He check called a bet of 1,700 on 
and check called another 2,400 on the 
turn.
The river came the 
and Castelluccio checked for the third time. Rodriguez bet out 5,400 and after some thinking it was Castelluccio who made the call.
Rodriguez showed 
fort the nuts and Castelluccio took one more look at his cards before mucking. Castelluccio had his cards up so high the table could see at least the 
, and we're pretty sure the 
was right behind it.
