Rafferty Flushes Kumar

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

All the chips went in on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} with Tom Rafferty (big blind) check-raising Anish Kumar's 70,000 continuation bet after calling a bet of 90,000 pre-flop. Kumar called and the two flipped over their cards with Rafferty the player at risk.

Tom Rafferty: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Anish Kumar: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Kumar had the lead with a pair of nines, with Rafferty holding a flush draw and an overcard, but losing some of his outs when Kumar binked a set on the {9-Hearts} turn. However, the poker gods are fickle and Rafferty got there on the {k-Diamonds} river to earn a timely double, effectively swapping places with Kumar in the pecking order after the hand.
