Ray can go smoke
Hand seventy-four: John raises up to 120000 in total and Kyri calls. Flop 4h Kh Kd, John bets 160000 and Kyri folds.
Ray needs a cigarette but is too scared to go because the blinds are so big he will be out by the time he gets back.
Hand seventy-five: John raises to 100000 and Ray goes all-in. A quick call from John. A J for John vs K Q for Ray. Flop 5 7 10, turn 9 and river 4.
Ray has been eliminated in 3rd place earning R300,000 and a seat to the World Series of Poker valued at R150,000. If this seat is anything like the last one though, it may be worth about R 21 million.
Once again, a great performance by Ray Rahme who is off to have his cigarette.
Back in 10 minutes for heads-up play with John Tabatabai the WSOPE hero and Kyri Patsalos, the South African underdog.
