Aces Fail Rahme in Huge Pot

[user22113]

On a flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

, Raymond Rahme bet out for 3,500 and Grant Levy raised it up to 10,000. Rahme thought for a moment before re-raising to 40,000 and Levy instantly announced he was all-in. Rahme thought for several moments and, after declaring that he thought his opponent had a set, made the call for nearly all of his chips. Rahme turned over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

but he was in desperate trouble as Levy flipped up {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

for the set. The turn was {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and the river {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

to leave Rahme on the verge of elimination. Grant Levy is now a commanding tournament leader with well over 200,000 in chips.
