Rafferty Eliminated by Pizanias

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tom Rafferty moved all in for around 16,000 in chips from the cutoff and was called by Jim Pizanias in the big blind.

Jim Pizanias: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Tom Rafferty: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Rafferty was in trouble until the flop came {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} giving him the lead with a pair.

The {8-Spades} on the turn was safe for Rafferty has he only had to dodge the river to survive.

"Ace!" asked Pizanias, who's request was granted by the dealer, as the {a-Hearts} dropped on the river giving him the higher pair and the winning hand.
