Rassi Can't Duck a Draw

Steve Rassi's day is over. On a board of {4-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, Rassi checked to Christian Closson, who bet 4,000. Rassi thought for about fifteen seconds before check-raising all in for 18,000.

"Hmmm," agonized Closson. "That's a good bet." He pondered his action.

"I call," he finally announced. "I'm on a draw." He showed {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Rassi turned over {K-Spades} {3-Clubs}. "Yeah, you have a king," Closson acknowledged. "I figured. Come on dealer. Diamond -- one time."

The river was the {5-Diamonds}.

"Yes!" shouted Closson.

Rassi was not pleased. "You gotta be kidding me," he muttered. "Jesus Christ. Holy sh*t." He shook his head.

"Sorry, guy," said Closson.
