Rafael Closing the Gap

Level 26
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Tom Vogelsang limped in on the button and called when Sean Rafael made it 900,000 from the big blind. The pair checked the 7♥4♠3♥ flop and 8♥ turn before Rafael fired 700,000 on the 10♣ river.
Vogelsang tossed in a quick call but mucked his cards when Rafael showed Q♣J♦9♦8♦ for a straight.
The next hand, Rafael raised his button to 900,000 and Vogelsang defended his big blind. The board was checked to the 8♥A♣5♦Q♦K♠ river, where Vogelsang snap-folded to a bet from Rafael.
