Rafferty Dents Onwuka's Lead

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Francis Onwuka
Francis Onwuka

Chipleader Francis Onwuka had open-raised and Kyle Rafferty had three-bet to 18,000 chips. The action then folded back to Rafferty, who jammed all in, covering Rafferty's 73,000 chips.

Rafferty thought it over for a good while before putting in the call and putting himself at risk.

Kyle Rafferty: A?10?
Francis Onwuka: A?J?

It was looking game over for Rafferty, but the 10?6?8? saw him jump into the lead. No jack appeared on the 2?5? runout, securing his double-up and preventing Onwuka from obtaining an even bigger lead over the field.
