Raimondi's Opponents Want It All; He Comes Along for the Ride
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Peter Raimondi opened under the gun to 1,600 before the action moved to the button who flat called. The small blind folded and then the big blind put in a three-bet to the tune of 6,100. Raimondi called and then the button back jammed for 28,000. The big blind then rejammed for 75,000. Raimondi thought for a moment and then put in the chips to put himself at risk.
The cards hit their backs.
Button: 8?8? 
Peter Raimondi: 10?10?
Big Blind: A?Q?
Raimondi was in the lead but needed to fade a lot to hold. The full board ran out K?J?9?9?7? and Raimondi scooped a massive pot with his pair of tens after his opponents put on all the pressure.
