The action folded around to Lee Childs in the small blind, and with only Mark Castaldo and his 10-big blind stack standing between him and an uncontested pot, Childs simply moved all in to put Castaldo at risk.
Castaldo held the 
and did not appear to like his spot, but with his stack slipping into the danger zone, he made called off and hoped for the best.
Childs tabled the 
and despite Castaldo's marginal holding, the two were actually racing for the pot.
Flop: 
Castaldo jumped out to a huge head start by flopping trip queens, and when the 
rained down on the turn, the pot was officially his. The 
completed the board on the river, and Castaldo doubled through to keep his hopes for an HPO Regional Championship title intact.
