Raskin on a Roll

Micah Raskin

We just witnessed a huge three-way hand involving Micah Raskin and Charles Furey again, with John Heaton in the mix as well.

The hand began with an under-the-gun raise from Heaton, and when it folded around to a short-stacked Furey on the button he pushed all in. Raskin called Furey's reraise from the small blind, then when it folded to Heaton he reraised again for 24,200 more.

Raskin tanked for a while before calling Heaton's reraise, then stood and as the dealer burned a card and began to deal the flop. "You got me, you got me!" he said to the dealer, and everyone watched the first three community cards come {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

Raskin checked, and when Heaton pushed all in Raskin was quick with the call.

"It would be sick if you had pocket jacks," said someone from across the table. "Of course," nodded Raskin with a grin as he tabled his {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a flopped set. Heaton then turned over his {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} with understandably less enthusiasm, and Furey showed his {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} in a similarly dejected way.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and river the {8-Spades}, and both Furey and Heaton were eliminated. Raskin held his hands aloft for a moment, then sat down to gather his chips, kissing his bracelet before beginning the business of stacking. He explained to us afterwards how he'd picked up the bracelet in Las Vegas, and was wearing it when he final tabled the 2012 EPT San Remo Main Event a couple of months ago where he took sixth place.

Raskin grabs the Day 1b chip lead with that hand, which appears to have pushed him up around 215,000.

See below for photographic, start-to-finish highlights of what has thus far proven the biggest hand of Day 1b.
