Guzzardi's Cowboys Hold

Michael Guzzardi found himself the short stack and needed chips if he wanted to avoid bubbling off the final table. He opened a pot to 55,000 from the cutoff. Action passed to Tom Rafferty in the small blind, who reraised to 218,000, enough to put Guzzardi all in. He called with {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and found himself against Rafferty's {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. Rafferty hit top pair, {4-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts} then bricked out the rest of the way {8-Hearts} {10-Clubs}.

Guzzardi dragged the pot and doubled up to 460,000. Rafferty's not hurting for chips despite dropping to 1,180,000.
