Morgenstern Survives in Dramatic Fashion
Level 13
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action after the flop, Micah Raskin in early position was involved in a hand with Anton Morgenstern in the big blind. With the board reading 5♣4♠7♣ Morgenstern was all in and at risk.
Anton Morgenstern: 4♦4♣
Micah Raskin: 7♥7♦
Raskin had Morgenstern on the ropes, needing running clubs or the case four to survive. The K♥ turn left Morgenstern drawing to a single out. With action finished at the two other tables, many players flocked around as the dealer flipped over the 4♥ to send Raskin leaping out of his seat in frustration while Morgenstern raked in the pot smiling sheepishly.
