Rau Gets the Jump but Not the Double
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The flop 4♥8♥A♣ was already dealt, and Philip Joyce had a bet of 75,000 in front of him, enough to put his opponent, Eduard Rau, all in. Rau used some of his timebanks, and when he was sure he secured a pay jump he made the call.
Eduard Rau: K♥10♣
Philip Joyce: Q♦J♣
Rau's king-high was ahead of Joyce's hand. The 10♠ on the turn improved Rau to a pair but also gave Joyce many new outs with a double-gutter. The dealer revealed the J♦ on the river, giving Joyce a pair of jacks to eliminate Rau and further climb the leaderboard.
