Marty Mordechai and Rafiki Brown got involved in an all-in pot once again, will Rafiki the aggressor on a flop of J♠ 3♠ 5♠, shoving 4,300,000 over a flop bet of 1,300,000 from Marty. "I have a really bad hand, but I just don't think you're there yet," Mordechai said before calling:

Flop: J♠ 3♠ 5♠

Mordechai: 2♠ 4♣

Brown: K♣ J♦

Turn: Q♦

River: 2♦

Marty's hand wasn't as bad as he made it out to be, especially considering there were no spades in Rafiki's hand.  The turn and river would brick Marty's combo draw, and he'd ship 4,300,000 over the way of Brown.

1. Raffia Brown - 9,200,000
2. Michael Amato - 11,100,000
3. Marty Mordechai - 8,200,000
