Rafael Closing the Gap

Level 26
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Tom Vogelsang limped in on the button and called when Sean Rafael made it 900,000 from the big blind. The pair checked the 7?4?3? flop and 8? turn before Rafael fired 700,000 on the 10? river.
Vogelsang tossed in a quick call but mucked his cards when Rafael showed Q?J?9?8? for a straight.
The next hand, Rafael raised his button to 900,000 and Vogelsang defended his big blind. The board was checked to the 8?A?5?Q?K? river, where Vogelsang snap-folded to a bet from Rafael.
