Breaking Bad Star Running Bad

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
David Costabile
David Costabile

David Costabile, better known as Gale Boetticher on Breaking Bad and Daniel Hardman on Suits, was in position in a three-way pot.

Action checked to Costabile on the {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and he bet 1,500. Only Aguirre Azcoitia called. Azcoitia checked on the {2-Diamonds} turn and Costabile sized up to 3,000. Azcoitia again called.

The {6-Clubs} river completed the board and Azcoitia led out for 8,000. Costabile gave a laugh that sounded like he knew he was beat but he called. Azcoitia tabled {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered straight and the TV star mucked before telling his opponent "nice hand."

After the hand, Costabile playfully punched Azcoitia on the shoulder and told him that he had an overpair.
