Bokody Takes From Rafferty

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On the turn of a board {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Tom Rafferty in the big blind bet 15,000 and Vincent Huang called from under the gun. Rafferty also bet the {3-Clubs} river for 40,000 and Huang reluctantly folded.

Ebon Bokody stole the blinds and big blind ante the next hand and then raised to 13,000 in the cutoff, which Michael Egan called out of the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Egan check-called a bet of 11,000. Neither player bet the {7-Diamonds} turn and Egan bet the {3-Clubs} river for 36,000 to force a fold from Bokody.

Bokody continued with aggression and raised it up to 13,000 once more, and chip leader Rafferty called from one seat over in the cutoff. The {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop resulted in a bet of 15,000 by Bokody and a call by Rafferty. After the {q-Spades} turn, Bokody made it 40,000 to go and Rafferty snap-called to do so again for 60,000 on the {4-Clubs} river.

Bokody turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top two and won a healthy pot off Rafferty.
