Rambo Rises

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player in middle position raised to 15,000 and [Removed:339] called from late position. Rambo P was in the cutoff and called, as did Alicia Pachla in the small blind and Sahar Khajavi in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Pachla moved all in for about 69,500. Khajavi called, as did Rambo.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}. Khajavi checked and Rambo moved all in for his remaining 30,000. Khajavi called.

Khajavi: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Rambo: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Pachla: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The river was the {10-Clubs}, giving Rambo a straight to the jack and Pachla was eliminated.
