Rafferty Building on Feature Table

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Over on the feature table, Vincent Huang made it 600 to from the cutoff, with Tom Rafferty (button) the only caller to take the action heads-up to a monochrome {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, which brought checks from both players.

The {5-Spades} turn brought a further two checks, and the {7-Hearts} came off on the river. Huang checked once more and after thinking it over for 30-seconds or so, Rafferty tossed out a single orange 1k chip. Huang looked on the fence about calling or folding but eventually decided on the latter.

Huang dropped to 44,500 after the hand, while Rafferty had evidently been busy as has run his 50k starting stack up to 64,000.
