Raul Hits the River
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Special One opened to 3,200 from under the gun. Adrien Lacabe called on the button, as did Raul from the small blind. Thomas Saminadin slid in a tower of 5,000 chips before Special One and Lacabe folded.
Raul toiled over the call for around a minute before committing his final 25,000.
Raul: J♥10♥
Thomas Saminadin: A♦K♦
Both flopped a piece on the K♥Q♣4♦ flop. The J♠ changed nothing, but the 9♥ river gave Raul a king-high straight to secure a double-up.
