Kimhi Left With Crumbs Near the Bubble as Rastelli Hits the River
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Yair Kimhi raised to 35,000 in the cutoff before Fabio Rastelli moved all in for 250,000 in the small blind. Kimhi tanked for several minutes as the bubble approached before calling.
Fabio Rastelli: K♦Q♦
Yair Kimhi: A♣Q♣
Kimhi had Rastelli dominated, but the 9♠2♦9♦ flop gave Rastelli a flush draw. The turn came the 7♣, but the 8♦ fell on the river and Rastelli made his flush to double up, leaving Kimhi with less than a big blind.
