An unknown player at Rafe Furst's table made a preflop raise, after which Rafe re-popped it enough to put his opponent all in. After some considerable thought, his opponent mucked his hand face-up, revealing pocket KINGS!

"I know he's got aces," his opponent said. It's hard not to speculate in this situation, but there are only 205 players left -- just seven away from the money, a fact that may have influenced his decision.

Rafe's opponent had approximately 15,000 chips after making the monster laydown.

Almost

One fortunate player dodged the bubble with a lucky river card. Facing a raise, he moved all in from the cutoff with A-K and was called by A-10. The flop came J-10-5 but a queen on the river made his Broadway straight and ensured his survival.

Dropping Like Flies

Now we are in the money players are dropping thick and fast, and with the next 30 players all getting paid $4,080 it seems a lot of the shorter stacks are willing to gamble.
