Event 14 (Day 2): 9th Place - Castaldo ($2,671)

Level 18 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 315,000

Mark Castaldo (Fairfax, VA)
It only took one hand back from break for Mark Castaldo to get his chips in the middle, pushing UTG+1.  The action would fold around to Drake Bronk in the small blind, who would iso-shove and watch as Chinni folded.  The two players would then table their hands:

Castaldo: K K♠
Bronk: A♠ A♣

Runout: 10 3♠ 9 3♣ 8

Castaldo ran into the one hand he didn't want to see, and his day would end with an eight place finish.  Bronk would ecipse 600,000 with that pot, and is adding some room between himself and his nearest competitor.
