Raskin Block Bets
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante
Cliff Josephy raised A♦8♦ to 200,000 from under the gun. He folded out Rick Mechammil's 16 big blind stack, despite Mechammil holding the superior A♣J♦. Action folded to the blinds; Micah Raskin made the call holding 9♥9♣ and Zdenek Zizka did the same holding 10♠9♦ from the small and big blind, respectively.
Both blinds checked the 7♣2♥Q♠ flop, and Josephy opted for a bet of 230,000. Only Raskin called, and the K♣ turn checked through. Raskin chose a small sizing of 200,000 on the 4♠ river, and Josephy folded.
