Rafe's Reraise Pushes Payan Off His Hand

Rafe Kibrit raised to 52,000 on his button and Elie Payan made the call from the small blind. The dealer flopped {9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Payan checked it, prompting a bet of 86,000 by Kibrit.

Payan came along and the turn card fell {A-Spades}. After a moment of study, Payan decided he liked the previous bet and fired his own 86,000 into the middle. Kibrit decided to peel one off and called, bringing the {J-Spades} to the board.

The Frenchman known as "Punisher934" online slowly stacked a bet of 306,000 and slid it forward, but when he heard Kibrit announce "raise the pot," Payan mucked his cards. This misstep cost Payan 530,000 chips and Kibrit built his stack to nearly 2,000,000 with the power play.
