Rafferty Dents Onwuka's Lead
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Chipleader Francis Onwuka had open-raised and Kyle Rafferty had three-bet to 18,000 chips. The action then folded back to Rafferty, who jammed all in, covering Rafferty's 73,000 chips.
Rafferty thought it over for a good while before putting in the call and putting himself at risk.
Kyle Rafferty: A♠10♣
Francis Onwuka: A♦J♣
It was looking game over for Rafferty, but the 10♦6♥8♠ saw him jump into the lead. No jack appeared on the 2♥5♣ runout, securing his double-up and preventing Onwuka from obtaining an even bigger lead over the field.
