Raymer's Revenge

Earlier we reported a hand where Greg Raymer was on the rough end of a bad beat holding pocket kings against {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Well Raymer has just had his revenge against the same opponent, Bill Wankey.

A short stacked Raymer moved the last of his chips from under-the-gun and Wankey made the call from early position.

"Is it aces or kings?" questioned Raymer.

"Neither" replied Wankey.

"Well then we know what this would be!" quipped Raymer as he revealed the {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}! Wankey showed {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

However the board landed an amazing {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to give Raymer a flush and the double up.

"Justice!" exclaimed Raymer as he stays alive with about 6,000 chips.
