Raskin Reaching Deep for Reentries

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

After firing multiple bullets during the first two starting flights, longtime pro and veteran of the European high-roller circuit Micah Raskin has missed the mark yet again.

The bleeding began when Raskin doubled a short stack up, as his {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} was outkicked by the {K-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} on a queen-high board.

According to his former tablemates, Raskin held {4-}{4-} shortly thereafter and found a third four on the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-} flop. After Raskin and two opponents - including Dennis Zollo - checked around, a {3-} fell on fourth street.

That's when Raskin min-raised a half-pot bet, only to see Zollo three-bet the turn. Only Raskin called that bet, and when the river came {2-} he check-shoved for his remaining chips, only to see that Zollo had made the nuts with his {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

With that, yet another attempt by Raskin to build a Day 2 stack went by the wayside.
