No Soup for Rafael

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Michael Zowie opened to 3,500, and Casey Kastle called in position. From the small blind, Sean Rafael three-bet to 15,600, and Zowie quickly folded. Kastle called, though, and it was heads-up to the flop.

It came {8-Spades} {4-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, and Rafael bet all in for about 12,000. Kastle made the call with his covering stack, and Rafael was at risk as the cards were turned up. He was well in front:

Kastle: {5-Spades} {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Rafael: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades} {7-Hearts}

Was well in front. The turn and river came {2-Clubs} and {Q-Clubs}, however, and Kastle ran down his flush to take the pot. With it comes the elimination of Rafael, and we are down to 11 players.
