Rabichow Rides the Wave
Krasimir Yankov in the hijack and Kevin Rabichow in the button got all their chips into the middle preflop.
Krasimir Yankov A♥J♠ 
Kevin Rabichow 4♣4♦
Yankov took a commanding lead on the 9♣A♦7♣ flop, and Rabichow was unable to improve, as the dealer ran the 10♠5♦ board out. Rabichow let out a groan, counted out his remaining 12,000 chips, and stated, “I have enough to call”.
Rather than calling, he open-shoved three hands later, and next to act Andrew Kelsall isolated, raising to 40,000. Both Eran Aydin and Jacques Der Megreditchian considered whether they wanted to play for the bounty before folding.
Kevin Rabichow K♦9♣
Andrew Kelsall 7♣5♥
Behind, the 2♣10♥A♣ flop gave no help to Kelsall, and he was drawing dead on the K♠ turn. The river K♥ improved Rabichow to unnecessary trips, as he almost quadrupled up after taking in the blinds.
