Raymer Avoids Elimination

[user75032]

Things were looking grim for Team PokerStars Pro Greg Raymer. His stack of roughly 200,000 was in the middle pre-flop and called by Daniel Abromson, who had Raymer covered. Raymer was behind, tabling {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

against Abromson's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

.

"That's worse than I had hoped," Raymer remarked.

Neither player improved on the all-club flop, {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

. Raymer spiked an ace on the turn, {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

, but the river {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

created a board flush and a chopped pot.
