Raymer Gets Squeezed

[user67765]

Greg Raymer opened with a raise from late position before the player in the big blind made a move for his last 6,000 chips from the big blind. Raymer insta-called with pocket kings as his opponent sheepishly turned over an ambitious {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

However, remarkably the board ran out {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and the big blind made a miraculous straight to claim the 13,000-chip pot and leave Raymer disgusted on about 9,000.
