Babb Sends Opponent to the Rail
A player in late position raised to 8,500 and got called by Ralph Babb on the button and the player in the big blind, leading to a 5♣9♦J♠ flop.
The big blind checked over to the late position player who continued with a bet of 11,500. Babb decided on a raise to 30,000 before the big blind folded.
The late position player verified the amount before deciding to go all in for only a few thousand more and Babb quickly called, sending the pair to a runout with his opponent at risk.
Late Position: Q♠9♠
Ralph Babb: Q♣J♣
Babb's opponent was drawing thin with his two pair outs no good. He'd need a nine to win or running straight cards to chop the pot.
The K♠ did provide some hope for a chop, but the river came the 7♣ and sealed the late position player's fate as Babb sent him to the rail with a better pair.
