Raskin's Revenge
On his first hand today, Micah Raskin picked up aces and was busted by Charles Furey.
They are at the same table again and a few minutes ago, Furey flopped trips to take a bite out of Raskin's second entry. However, Raskin just scored a six-figure double up through his nemesis.
Furey opened to 1,200 in middle position and Micah Raskin popped it to 3,700 from the next seat over. John Heaton called in the cutoff, but Furey four-bet to 9,200 when the action was back on him. Raskin called, as did Heaton.
"C'mon Scott," Raskin said to Scott the dealer.
The flop came down 
and was checked around, landing the 
turn. Furey bet 15,000 and was quickly called by Raskin. After Heaton folded, the river fell and before we caught what it was, Furey instantly shoved and Raskin snap-called with 
for a flopped set. Furey's 
was second best and he is now down to 10 big blinds.
Raskin, meanwhile, is among the chip leaders with about 112,000.
