Taliwanth Forces Out Rahme
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A large pot was brewing over on table seven when Cliton Taliwanth checked the Q♠6♣4♣5♥7♣ river and Joe Rahme bet 23,000. Taliwanth then check-jammed and Rahme asked for a count. The shove was for 81,800 total and Rahme reluctantly folded, exposing 10♣9♣ for a ten-high flush.
"Did you have a straight flush?" Rahme asked but Taliwanth never revealed his hand.
One table over, Greg Mokgoatlheng three-bet to 3,600 and Robert Cowley just called. The pot stayed rather small on the A♦8♥7♠Q♣2♣ board with only two streets of moderate betting action, as Mokgoatlheng prevailed with A♥K♦ versus 10♦10♥.
