Rahme Doubles! 2 years ago

Raymond Rahme has doubled-up through Jerry Yang, doing more damage to Yang's waning fortunes while picking himself back up off the mat and back into the game. Here's how it all went down:

Fatigue Sets In

Raymond Rahme and Jerry Yang see a flop come Ah Qd 8h and Yang checks to Rahme, who leads out for $2 million while looking close to passing out in his seat at the table. Yang quickly makes the call and the turn is the 5s and both players check. The river card is the 6h and Yang checks. Rahme checks behind and Yang shows pocket nines. Rahme mucks and takes another hit to his already hurting stack.

Rahme Doubles Through Yang

Alex Kravchenko leads out and Jerry Yang raises from the button. The action folds to Raymond Rahme, who moves all-in over the top for $10.8 million from the big blind. Kravchenko gets out of the way as Yang stands and puts his jacket on as he ponders his options. Yang makes the call after a few minutes' thought, showing pocket queens to Rahme's A-K.

The flop comes Ad 9c 4c and a roar from the audience accompanies Rahme's flopped pair of aces. The turn card is the 3h and the river card is a 5, doubling up Rahme and putting yet another dent in Jerry Yang's stack.

As after every key hand, the partisans from the winner's country are singing a battle song as Rahme stacks his chips. Sing your own battle song as you hit up our chip counts here .

Action Update #6 for Main Event Final Table! 2 years ago

The blinds are on their way up so stay tuned for the most ballingest poker action of the 2007 World Series.

Here are the latest updates from the Amazon Room:

Rahme Shoves

Raymond Rahme and Jerry Yang see a flop come 3-3-2 and Rahme open-shoves all-in immediately. Yang folds out and Rahme takes the pot.

Tuan Lam raises to $1.5 million from the button and Raymond Rahme moves all-in again from the small blind. Alex Kravchenko folds out in the big blind and the action is back on Lam, who lays the hand down. Rahme continues to augment his stack by moving all-in.

Nice Pot for Lam

Alex Kravchenko makes it $1.4 million to go from the button and Jerry Yang gets out of the way in the small blind. Tuan Lam calls from the big blind and the flop comes 8-7-4 with two spades. Lam checks to Kravchenko, who checks behind, and the turn is the 8h. Lam bets $3 million and Kravchenko makes the call. The river card is the Jd, prompting a check from Lam and a check behind from Kravchenko. Lam shows A-Q and the Barnacle mucks, giving the Canadian a substantial pot.

Lam Chipping Up

Alex Kravchenko limps-in and Tuan Lam checks his option. The flop comes K-Q-8 rainbow and Kravchenko bets out $750,000. The turn is the Ts and both players check. The river is the Qh and Lam bets $1.25 million, inducing a fold from Kravchenko and taking down the pot.
