Rahal Celebrates Too Early
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Samir Rahal was all in for 111,000 from middle position and up against Javier Caballo in the cutoff.
Samir Rahal: A♣Q♠ 
Javier Caballo: J♥J♦
Rahal was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 7♠A♦8♣. "Yes. So far," Rahal yelled out as he hit top pair. The turn was the 5♣ to keep him in the lead.
His optimism proved short-lived, however, as Caballo spiked the J♠ on the river to make a set and send Rahal to the rail.
