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 K♥5♥6♥ 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 Q♥Q♦ 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: A♥J♠
Opponent: A♣Q♣
Raffoul paired his jack, but was eliminated after the Q♥J♦3♣9♠K♦ runout paired his opponent's queen.
