Rash Hits River to Send Opponent to Rail
Connor Rash faced a situation after a player in the small blind moved all in for his remaining 6,900.
Rash didn’t have to just contend with the all-in player, but a player on the button was also in the hand after Rash raised preflop. Rash met the challenge head on by moving all in for his remaining 73,000.
The player on the button, who had Rash covered, asked for a count from the player in the small blind, then looked over to Rash before deciding to fold. With the play now heads up, the cards were tabled.
Opponent: 7♠7♥
Connor Rush: A♦J♦
The player on the button saw Rash’s hand and mentioned he mucked ace-queen, and the dealer fanned out 4♣K♥8♥ on the flop. The 8♣ on the turn kept Rash’s opponent in the lead, but the J♥ on the river gave Rash the win and knockout.
