Men Nguyen raised to 19,000 from under the gun, and the table folded around to Micah Raskin, who went all in for 75,000 from the small blind.

Nguyen tanked for a good while, then finally called. The table reacted with some surprise when they showed their hands: Raskin had {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

, while Nguyen had {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

.

The flop was {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{2-Spades}

, putting Nguyen in the lead but giving Raskin the flush draw. The turn was the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

and Raskin still needed help. The river was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

, and Raskin took the pot with his jacks.

Raskin is up to 160,000, while Nguyen has slipped down to 115,000.
