Rauhe is in bad shape having run into Ralbovsky’s pocket queens and remains in trouble after the flop. 

The turn does not alter matters, but the rolls off on the river to propel Rauhe into the lead with a pair of aces, handing him a timely double-up and leaving Ralbovsky shaking his head at his misfortune.
