That's a Rapp

Stefan Rapp couldn't dodge the bad luck all day
Stefan Rapp couldn't dodge the bad luck all day
Stefan Rapp raised from the button and Duane Graff Jr. reraised from the small blind. Matt Graham got out of the way in the big blind and Rapp put the remaining few thousand he had in the middle. It wasn't looking good for Rapp when the cards were turned over.

Rapp: {K-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Graff Jr.: {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}

The flop came {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {3-Spades}. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, which gave Rapp some more outs with a flush draw. If he didn't hit, he would be felted.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and sealed the deal for Graff Jr.

Graham and Graff Jr. will be heads up. Graham has the chip lead with 238,000 chips. Graff Jr. has 32,000.
