Raikes Takes Out Two
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
The hand was picked up with Adel Kabbani moving all in with 835,000 from the big blind on a flop of 5♦J♥Q♠.
Shane Raikes, on this left, made the call. Dara Taherpour, in middle position, raised all in with 2,085,000 chips.
Raikes considered his options for a moment before electing to call.
Adel Kabbani: Q♣7♠
Dara Taherpour: A♥Q♦
Shane Raikes: K♦10♥
Taherpour had the best hand with top pair, top kicker, and Kabbani was outkicked. Raikes had a straight draw.
The 9♥ on the turn delivered the straight for Raikes, and the 4♠ river mattered not, as he scored the double knockout.
