Babette Chao Takes Big Chunk from Zain Rafiq

In a big heads-up pot with around 40,000 in the middle, the board reads when Babette Chao fires for 20,000 and Zain Rafiq makes the call. 

Chao then tables for a rivered straight and Rafiq’s eyebrows raise as he tosses his cards into the muck. Chao is then pushed the substantial pot to boost her to the top of the counts. 

Babette Chao – 147,000 (184 bb)
Zain Rafiq – 53,000  (66 bb)
