Rafferty Establishes Comfortable Lead
Level 14
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ebon Bokody raised the button to 14,000 and Tom Rafferty three-bet the small blind to win the pot.
One hand later, Bokody made it 13,000 to go from the cutoff and Rafferty flat-called on the button, as did Vincent Huang in the small blind. The flop brought 
and Huang check-folded to a bet of 15,000 by Bokody and a call by Rafferty. On the 
turn, Bokody fired a second barrel worth 42,000 and Rafferty came along.
The 
river was checked by Bokody and Rafferty bet 60,000. Bokody called after brief consideration and mucked when Rafferty turned over 
for flopped trips queens as the winning hand.
