Hawes Gets Value From Rafferty

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Rehman Kassam bet the {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} turn for 7,000 and Mladen Vukovic raised to 26,000. Kassam jammed and Vukovic snap-released his cards into the muck.

Over on the other table, Tom Rafferty checked out of the big blind and called a bet of 12,000 by Charlie Hawes on the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} turn. He also checked the {8-Spades} river and Hawes now bet 33,000. A reluctant call from Rafferty followed and Hawes rolled over {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a turned full house, while Rafferty mucked the {q-Hearts}.
