One-Two Combo Sends Raffoul Home

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Back-to-back hands saw Edgard Raffoul's stack evaporate in the closing stages of Day 2.

In the first hand, the action was picked up on a K56 flop with around 125,000 in the middle. Alexander Sokolovsky from the small blind bet 15,000, and Raffoul made it 42,000 from the cutoff. Sokolovsky called.

Both checked the 3 turn to the 4 river, where Sokolovsky fired out 100,000, and Raffoul immediately called.

Sokolovsky showed QQ for a flush, and Raffoul mucked.

The very next hand, Raffoul shoved for 152,000, and a player in the small blind called.

Edgard Raffoul: AJ All in
Opponent: AQ

Raffoul paired his jack, but was eliminated after the QJ39K runout paired his opponent's queen.
