Hand #15: Alex Perelberg Doubles Through Matt Casterella

Casterella raises from the small blind to 60,000, Perelberg reraises from the big blind to 160,000, and Casterella says, "So, like half your money?" Perelberg says it’s a little less than that.

Casterella moves all in, and Perelberg calls with [Ad10c]. Casterella dominates him with [AcJd].

The flop comes [QcJh3c], and Casterella flops a pair of jacks to Perelberg’s gutshot straight draw. The turn card is the [7c], and Perelberg loses an out to Casterella’s higher club flush draw.

The river card is — the [Kh]!

Perelberg’s friends and family cheer in the stands as he catches a three outer on the river to stay alive and double through Casterella.
