Rahal Celebrates Too Early
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Samir Rahal was all in for 111,000 from middle position and up against Javier Caballo in the cutoff.
Samir Rahal: A?Q? 
Javier Caballo: J?J?
Rahal was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 7?A?8?. "Yes. So far," Rahal yelled out as he hit top pair. The turn was the 5? to keep him in the lead.
His optimism proved short-lived, however, as Caballo spiked the J? on the river to make a set and send Rahal to the rail.
