Race Endangers [Removed:198]

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante

A preflop raise to 1,500 set off a chain of re-raises that would see [Removed:197] drop to 18,000 after a race lost on the river. [Removed:198] just called the initial raise, then the button upped it to 5,200 - this got rid of the first gent but [Removed:198] looked at his opponent's 25,000 behind, then raised to 10,100. The rest followed it in quickly, and [Removed:198]'s {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} was up against {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. It held over the {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and the {6-Clubs} turn, but the river brought the {K-Diamonds}. That drop may prove insurmountable, or he could do a Duhamel and nurse it back to life... we'll have to wait and see.
