Tom Rafferty
Tom Rafferty

Tom Rafferty raised to 21,000 from the button and Michael Egan three-bet to 58,000 in the small blind. Sean Ragozzini was sitting in the big blind and took his time to contemplate his options. In the end, Ragozzini decided to fold and so did Rafferty.

Rafferty shoved from under the gun for 158,000 and picked up the blinds and ante.

Ragozzini limped on the button, Ebon Bokody completed his small blind and Rafferty shoved again in the big blind for the other two to quickly fold.

Bokody raised to 22,000 from under the gun and Ragozzini called in the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Ragozzini check-raised the 18,000 continuation-bet of Bokody to 55,000. Bokodythree-bet to 130,000 which sent Ragozzini into the tank. In the end, Ragozzini folded.

Tom Rafferty raised to 21,000 from under the gun and Ragozzini called in the small blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Ragozzini check-raised the 22,000 continuation-bet of Rafferty to 70,000. Rafferty counted out his stack and then shoved for 172,000 which Ragozzini snap-called.

Tom Rafferty: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Sean Ragozzini: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Ragozzini had flopped top pair but Rafferty held the overpair.

The rest of the board was completed with the {q-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Spades} on the river for Rafferty to sigh from relief and double up.
