Raskin At Risk

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

As we were making our last round, we spotted a hand in progress that saw 10,700 in the pot with a board reading {A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Micah Raskin had moved all in for his last 10,000, putting the pressure on his opponent in the hijack. Eventually Raskin's opponent laid down the hand, allowing the pro to take down the pot and get back up to the starting stack.

Kroon Loses a Small One; Still Doing Better than Yesterday

With 1,000 in the pot and a board reading {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}, the small blind bet a modest 175 and found a caller in Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon. The dealer then revealed the {3-Diamonds} on the river, and again the small blind bet, this time a single purple T500 chip.

"500?" Kroon asked. "Call." The small blind then rolled over {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, which prompted the former online pro to slide his cards to the muck. Kroon is still doing much better than he did on Day 1a, when he was eliminated on the third hand after his pocket aces got crack pocket kings, as he is still in and sitting with 21,500.

Big Hands, Small Pot

Jake "PSUTennis" Toole opened for 400, Matthew Chang - fresh off a WSOPC ring victory at Southern Indiana - called from the small bind and Faraz Jaka called from the big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn came {3-Clubs} and all three players checked. The river was the {J-Spades} and, wait for it, all three players checked.

Chang showed {K-} {Q-} for two pair but Jaka had him beat, tabling {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} for a full house. Toole smiled and mucked, visibly relieved he didn't take a shot at the pot.

Mmmmmm Bop . . . Hanson Eliminated

We saw that Mike Hanson's seat was empty and he was conversing on the rail. We made our way over and discovered he had been eliminated, and he was kind enough to relate his elimination hand. According to Hanson a player in early position raised to 400 and received on call. Hanson came along for the ride from the hijack with {K-}{J-}. From there, one of the blinds three-bet to 1,200, and only the original raiser and Hanson called.

The {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-} flop saw the player in the blind lead out for 2,000, which the EP player folded and Hanson called. When the dealer burned and turned the {J-}, Hanson's opponent fired out 5,000, a call ensued, and a {10-} hit the river. This time the aggressor checked, Hanson moved all in for 11,600, and his opponent snap-called with {A-}{A-}. That was the end of Michael Hanson.
