Raskin Cracks Joyner's Kings
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Timothy Joyner check-raised to 6,000 from the small blind after Micah Raskin in the cutoff bet 3,000 on a flop of J♠2♣9♣ and a pot of around 15,000. Raskin called to see the turn.
The dealer peeled 3♥ and Joyner bet 120,000 which covered Raskin, who only had 15,000 behind. Raskin made the call putting himself at risk.
Micah Raskin: J♣4♣ 
Timothy Joyner: K♣K♦
Raskin had top pair with a flush draw, but it couldn't beat Joyner's pocket kings. To Joyner's surprise and dismay, the river J♦ fell giving Raskin trips.
The dealer pushed the pot to Raskin while Joyner kept quiet looking frustrated.
