Raymer on the Rise
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Greg Raymer raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and was called by Melinda Hipp on the button and Mimoun Bendavid in the big blind.
The flop of 5♣6♦7♠ checked through to the 4♦ turn, where Bendavid led out for 12,000. Raymer called, as did Hipp.
On the 2♥ river, Bendavid checked, Raymer bet 25,000, and Hipp folded. Bendavid thought for a brief moment before making the call.
"I have a straight," said Raymer as he tabled 3♣3♦ to take down the pot.
