Raskin Ravages the Rockets

We passed by Micah Raskin's table recently just in time to see a massive pot being pushed his way.

After examining the scene of the carnage, it turned out Raskin's {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} had toppled the {A-Hearts}{a-Clubs} held by an unfortunate opponent on the {2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board.

According to Raskin's rundown of the action, the pot was played cautiously through fifth street, but when he made trip nines on the river the time to shove all in had arrived. The man wielding the strongest preflop hand in Hold'em called off, only to find his bullets were now second-best.

After firing a few bullets of his own at this reentry event yesterday, Raskin has built himself a stack with which to work, and with his experience and skill that spells bad news for the rest of his table.
