The Bracelet Will Stay in North America

The last of our overseas competitors has been eliminated.

Raymond Rahme is in the BB facing a raise to 2.6 million from Jerry Yang. Rahme re-raises an additional 6 million which Yang calls. The flop comes Ad-Jh-8h. Rahme checks. Yang bets out 10 million and Rahme immediately moves all in, pushing his remaining 27.4 million chips into the pot. Yang tanks hard and talks himself into thinking that Raymond is on a draw. Rahme then starts talking, telling Yang, "It's your decision". Yang asks, "Do you want me to call?" which Rahme replies, "It's your decision, not mine" while giving a slight shake of the head. This triggers Yang to call and he shows A5o and asks Rahme if he has him beat. Rahme says no, asks the dealer for a king and flips over KK (one heart). Rahme can catch runners for a straight or flush but those draws disappear when the 4s comes down fourth street leaving Rahme drawing to a K which doesn't come on the river. Rahme earns slightly more than $3 million for his 3rd place finish while Yang takes more than 100 million chips heads up against Tuan Lam for the title.
