Raimer Applies the Pressure
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
There was around 3,500 in the middle on a flop of 
with heads-up action between the under-the-gun Archie Raimer and his opponent in middle position. Raimer had checked and was facing a bet of 1,600, which he check-raised to 4,000. His opponent called.
The turn came 
and Raimer continued, betting 6,500. His opponent called again and the river came 
. Raimer fired a third time, putting out 20,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in.
Faced with a decision for his tournament life, the cutoff thought for about half a minute before letting his hand go, resulting in Raimer taking down the pot sans showdown.
