No Flops and One Big Clash Vault Rabie Up the Leaderboard
Lawrence Rabie raised to 2.5 million with 10♠10♣ and scooped the blinds. In the next hand, the Canadian made it 1,700,000 to go with the A♦4♦ and earned the blinds once again for the second hand in a row.
Dennis Carlson then opened to 1,500,000 with the 9♦8♦ and there was no flop to be had either.
Jose Boloqui made it 1,250,000 to go on the button and found no resistance.
The next to raise was Jason Reels for 1,000,000 with the A♥2♥ first to act. Rabie glanced at his cards and instantly announced raise while on the button, then made it 2,500,000 to go with the A♠A♣. Reels called and jammed the 6♣6♥3♥ flop, Rabie called for 6,650,000 and then asked "please give me some black cards".
The K♦ turn and 3♦ river were no black cards but Rabie stayed ahead and celebrated vividly with his rail.
