: 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
The board read 
by fourth street and Mark Castaldo had a bet of 15,000 pushed in front of his stack.
David Lackey responded with a raise to 45,000, forcing Castaldo to a tough decision. After asking for a count of the raise, Castaldo opted to flat the bet and take the river, which came down 
.
Pausing a beat to ponder his options, Castaldo suddenly announced himself all in for approximately 114,000, which was effectively an all-in bet for Lackey as well, who held 120,000 behind.
After squeezing and re-checking his hole cards, Lackey appeared to be pained by the bet, and he flashed the 
before announcing the fold.
