Rankin Flops Big to Double
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
The action was caught as Darren Rankin was all in and at risk for his last 240,000, from the big blind. Vaughan Machado, in the hijack, was the player standing in Rankin's way.
Darren Rankin: J?2?
Vaughan Machado: K?Q?
The flop landed 8?J?2? giving Rankin two pair. The A? turn and A? river may have counterfeited Rankin's original holding, but he was still best and doubled up.
