Raskin Can Dodge Bullets, Baby

Micah Raskin was all in preflop for 153,000 with {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and up against the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} of Amir Lehavot. The {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop gave Raskin a little help, but he'd need more if he were to survive.

The {Q-Diamonds} turn gave him some added straight outs, but it'd be the {10-Diamonds} river that would deliver him salvation and extend his tournament life. Meanwhile, Lehavot's cracked aces dropped him to 270,000.
