Rapaski Doubles Through Zamani
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Martin Zamani raised to 60,000 in middle position, Hassan Kamel called from the cutoff, as did Anton Smirnov on the button, and Ryan Rapaski from the big blind. The flop was Q♥8♠5♠ and Rapaski bet pot, leaving himself with crumbs behind.
Zamani went all in over the top, which quickly got Kamel out of the way. Smirnov, though, appeared to have a big hand for the situation and painfully gave it up after two minutes. Rapaski quickly committed the extra chips.
Ryan Rapaski: A♦Q♣8♦3♥
Martin Zamani: A♣J♥8♣2♦
The turn and river 9♥9♠ brought a pair on the board, meaning Rapaski's two pair (queens and nines with ace kicker) would play for a full double-up, with no low possible.
