A King for Rahme
An under-the-gun player raised to 1,300 and action folded all the way around to Raymond Rahme on the button. The man best known for finishing third in the 2007 World Series of Poker decided to move all in for 15,175 more, and the UTG player made a hesitant call.

Rahme was racing for his tournament life and needed to improve, which is exactly what he did when the 
flop delivered him a pair of kings. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing and Rahme survived the hand and doubled to around 34,000.
