Everybody Loves Raymond...

...Particularly Rory McHugh, who has just now doubled through the downswinging Raymond Rahme.

We didn't see the preflop or flop action, but a pretty hefty pot had developed by that point. So with the board reading {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} board, we caught up with the action as McHugh bet out 4,000, leaving himself just 2,000 behind, and Rahme raised -- "All in," he said, unnecessarily when a simple min-raise would have done.

Nevertheless:

Rahme: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
McHugh: {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} for the made full house

River: {3-Spades} and thus not a jack

McHugh doubled to 15,000, while Rahme dropped again to 24,000.
