Rascle Avoids the Bad Beat
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Benjamin Lebor opened to 2,700 from under the gun and was called by Harrie Snijders from the next seat over. Yohan Rascle moved all in for 18,000 from the cutoff, with only Snijders making the call.
Rascle tabled 9♣9♥ and began to laugh with Snijders as he held 9♦9♠.
The J♦7♦2♣ flop kept things all square but Snijders turned a flush draw after the 8♦ came into play.
"No, no, no," begged Rascle.
The 10♠ river offered a sigh of relief and the pot was chopped after both players ended up with a straight.
