Raymer on the Rise

Greg Raymer raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and was called by Melinda Hipp on the button and Mimoun Bendavid in the big blind.

The flop of 5♣6♦7♠ checked through to the 4♦ turn, where Bendavid led out for 12,000. Raymer called, as did Hipp.

On the 2♥ river, Bendavid checked, Raymer bet 25,000, and Hipp folded. Bendavid thought for a brief moment before making the call.

"I have a straight," said Raymer as he tabled 3♣3♦ to take down the pot.
