Rahme Calls With Sixth Pair

There was 600 in the middle on a board reading {4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} when we arrived at the table. Raymond Rahme was heads up with the small blind, who fired out 525 into the pot. Rahme made the call, and the river was the {q-Hearts}. The small blind thought for about 20 seconds before tossing out 1,675. Rahme tanked for about a minute before tossing in the call.

The small blind showed {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for jack high, to which Rahme replied "Nothing?" He then flipped over {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for an underpair, which was good enough to take the pot. Despite that win, it's been a rough start for Rahme, as he's down to 15,000.
