Rapp Doubles

Matt Graham raised from the small blind and Stefan Rapp called from the big blind. The flop came down {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs}. Graham and Rapp raised back and forth in order to get all of Rapp's chips in the middle.

Rapp: {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Graham: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

Rapp was rooting for his hand to hold up one time while Graham was rooting for an ace or a king to come.

The turn came the {2-Clubs} and Rapp stood up to watch the last card.

The river was the {5-Spades}, giving Rapp a straight and the win, allowing him to double up. He pumped his fist and looked happy that a hand finally held for him.
