Late position opened to 3,200 at 800/1,600/1,600 blinds. The button called and Jose Castillo defended his big blind.

The flop comes 235 and the action checked to the button who puts out a wager of 6,000.

Castillo took a moment before cutting out raising chips and putting out 15,500.

The pre-flop raiser got out of the way and action was back on the button who didn't waste too much time before announcing "all in".

Castillo snap called and saw the good news as the button tabled 33 while he rolled over his flopped straight with A4

The board ran out an 8 and the river 6 didn't pair the board giving Castillo a full double less than one hour before players bag for Day 2.
