Abrahamsson & Raffoul Get Banksy Out

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Daniel Abrahamsson
Daniel Abrahamsson

A rough two hands saw Banksy's stack plummet to zero as both Daniel Abrahamsson and Edgard Raffoul benefitted.

First, Banksy made it 2,000 to go on the button and then called the 10,000-chip three-bet from Abrahamsson, who was in the big blind.

On the 88J flop, Banksy called a bet of 5,500 from Abrahamsson and both watched the 3 peel off on the turn. Again Abrahamsson bet, this time for 14,500, which again Banksy called.

Both then knuckled the table on the 10 river, and Abrahamsson's 109 was good for the pot with a rivered pair of tens.

Shortly after, Banksy had his remaining stack of just under 30,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Edgard Raffoul.

Banksy: QQ
Edgard Raffoul: AK

The pocket queens looked good for a double-up on the 101024 board, but the A on the river gave Raffoul a pair of aces and left Banksy out of chips.
