Kapalas Busts Rahman in Huge Pot

Donnie Peters

Samer Rahman isn't afraid to play big pots. Action folded to him in middle position and he opened with a raise to 30,000. The button was Georgios Kapalas reraised to 85,000. Rahman made the call.

The flop came down {8-Spades}

. Rahman was first to act and checked. Kapalas bet a hefty 110,000. Rahman stayed right along with him and made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds}

and again Samer checked. Kapalas reached for more chips this time and made it 175,000 to go. Rahman stared at his opponent and then made the call.

After the river fell the {K-Hearts}

, Rahman pushed the last of his chips into the middle. Kapalas snap-called holding the nuts -- {J-Spades}

. Rahman rivered two pair with {K-Diamonds}

. Rahman was eliminated with Kapalas raking in the huge pot to put him at 1.7 million.

A Kers Upon the Rail

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

While the enormous, chip-leader-creating hand that was the exit of Samer Rahman took place, the crush of the crowd was such that nobody really noticed the luckless Pontus Kers busting out at the same time on another table. Whatever happened to him, Kers takes 24th place, and will not be required to attend Day 4.
