Rabahie Gets Favorable Flop

Jeremy Geist

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded to George Rabahie on the button who opened to 10,000. Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot was in the small blind and checked his cards, took a moment, and then announced he was all in. Rabahie went over his options, did some accounting, and then called.

The cards hit their backs with Talbot all in and at risk.

Parker Talbot: A?2?
George Rabahie: A?4?

Rabahie was ahead but only by a small margin. The two players would be chopping a large portion of the time but the dealer thought different and put out a 4?4?Q? flop. Talbot was only drawing to running aces for a chop and the help would not come on the Q? turn or J? river.

Rabahie scooped and sent Talbot to the rail after nearly flopping him dead.
