Hobold Takes from Rafael with Fourth Pair
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sean Rafael opened the hijack to 10,000 and Douglas Hobold defended his big blind.
On the Q♦6♣2♠ flop, Hobold check-called a bet of 7,000 from Rafael.
Hobold then led on the 3♠ turn for 18,000 and Rafael put in the call after a small tank.
On the 10♥ river, Hobold slowed down with a check before Rafael did the same. Hobold tabled 5♦3♥ for fourth pair which was enough for the win as Rafael mucked and Hobold got some extra value on the turn.
