Respect for Rafe

An unknown player at Rafe Furst's table made a preflop raise, after which Rafe re-popped it enough to put his opponent all in. After some considerable thought, his opponent mucked his hand face-up, revealing pocket KINGS!

"I know he's got aces," his opponent said. It's hard not to speculate in this situation, but there are only 205 players left -- just seven away from the money, a fact that may have influenced his decision.

Rafe's opponent had approximately 15,000 chips after making the monster laydown.
