Rauhut Rivers Straight to Bust Chevalier

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Thomas Rauhut open-shoved from late position with a relatively short stack and was looked up by Pierre Chevalier in the big blind, who had him covered, as players flipped their cards.

Thomas Rauhut: AQ All in
Pierre Chevalier: A10

Rauhut had Chevalier dominated and not much changed as the flop was dealt JK3, with neither player holding a spade. The 8 turn was a blank and Rauhut was one card away from a double up.

The river, however, came the Q, which gave Rauhut a pair but completed Chevalier's straight.

"Oh, come on!" said Rauhut, before politely adding, "Pleasure playing with you all."
