Ravi Raghavan

On a flop of QsQd7d, Ravi Raghavan checked from early position and Justin Young, who won this event last year, bet from middle position. Raghavan check-raised to about 10,500 and Young called.

There was about 23,000 in the pot heading to the 6d turn card and Raghavan moved all in for 33,275, which sends Young into the tank. After several minutes of thought, Young tosses his hand into the muck.

Raghavan mucked his hand and took the pot. There was a little discussion after the hand among the players, but they couldn’t come to a consensus on what Raghavan’s holding was.

Justin Young – 38,000
Ravi Raghavan – 56,000
