Rahme Eliminated

A huge roar emanated from one end of the casino (mainly deriving from one person), as Ganesh Bathmanathan doubled through courtesy of Raymond Rahme.

I joined the action with a {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{9-Spades} board festering in the middle as stacks were being counted. The action seemed self-explanatory: Rahme raising {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} from the cut-off, Bathmanathan pushing {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} from the big blind and Rahme making the call.

There was a little confusion as to whether Rahme had his man covered, but as the South African gradually counted out the circa 65,000 required, it soon emerged that it was the other way around. "All in," said Rahme with a acknowledging smile as he conceded his final colum of chips.
